THE TILBURG-PEOPLE ON BIKES

TILBURGERS OP DE FIETS

Announcing the 1976 budget the Dutch minister of transport introduced two so-called demonstration projects, especially concerning bicycles and mopeds. In Tilburg, an industrial town in the south of the country with about 155.000 inhabitants, a special east-west right of way will be established for exclusive use by these two means of transport, which are very popular in Holland. As the Dutch government endeavours to restrict car usage in favour of public transport and bicycles further investigations should be made into the choice pattern of road users. The article describes the various aspects of the Tilburg plan, which will have to be completed in 1976. /TRRL/
