Photo #24239

German road junction and cycle path design. There are many problems with this relative to Dutch design.

o The cycle path is too narrow and not as well surfaced as the road.
o The cycle path is too close to the road. No real separation.
o At the junction, the cycle path gives way to the road..
o The corner radii are very large for drivers, encouraging high speeds and making the distance greater for cyclists to cross.
o There are posts on the cycle path.
