Resurfacing a cyclepath, Dutch style.

This four kilometre long, four metre wide cycle path is being resurfaced. There's room for two rollers next to each other.

The sign reads "Fietspad - dus niet brommen". i.e. "Cyclepath - therefore no mopeds".

However, while this is only for bikes, it's still built to the same standard as a road. After all, in the winter the same snow ploughs as go along the roads are used to clear this cycle path. Also vehicles need access to clear the weeds from the ditch, mow the grass etc.
