The Ministry of Transport and Communication has introduced two demonstration projects for bicycle traffic, in Tilburg (the renowned star-route) and Den Haag: a bicycle route of approx. 10 kilometres from Nieuw-Waldeck to the town centre, extended with a through route via the town centre to Mariahoeve. In this demonstration project dating from 1975-1979 a great deal of attention has been paid to research on the effects, both before and after realisation. This brochure provides a meticulous report on design and financing.
