The CROW recently published the ‘Handreiking landbouwverkeer’ [Agricultural traffic guide]. This was an important publication for cyclists too, in view of the increasing number of incidents between cyclists and agricultural vehicles. This is not only because there is more agricultural traffic; it is also because of the cyclist-unfriendly recommendations of the previously published Road Design Manual. Here we look into the background of the subject and the improvements offered in the new publication to cyclists.
