Tag: road safety (page 1 of 1)

After two years in Paris working for the International Transport Forum at the OECD, my family and I recently moved to a small village in the province of Fryslân in the Netherlands.

The contrast between one of the world’s biggest urban agglomerations and our tiny village of 200 is obvious.

But I wasn’t prepared for the difference in transport infrastructure, especially given that the Netherlands has put enormous efforts into making roads safer for cyclists, pedestrians and other vulnerable road users.
