This video highlights the new Arnhem-Nijmegen cycle superhighway linking the two Dutch cities with bike-priority facilities. Much of the route is fully separate, but in some sections it goes through residential areas sharing the road with people driving cars. In those sections, the road is designed to give people biking priority, comfort, and safety. The route also features special grade separations, level crossings, lighting, and landscaping.
