Intersections in Utrecht, Netherlands, were suboptimal for bicyclists. There was no protected cycleway and instead cyclists had to ride along the side of the road to get to the intersection. The new design has a protected path for cyclists up to the intersection, and a shorter distance to cross at the intersection.
