We are staying in Breda for 3 week now and we still have discovered the city a few.

We were catched especially by the very good organisation of traffic. As we can see on the picture, each transport mean has its own road: Road for car (on the right), bicycle path for bike (in red in picture center) and path for pedestrians (on the left, where there is snow). We saw that dutch people grant more importance to bicycle than car and pedestrians. In fact that, when it were snowing, machines cleared the snow from the bicycle paths primarily.

The dutch people are very respectful of this rules ; that's why there is almost any accidents or serious accidents. This is the case for pedestrian crossing. Contrary to french people, dutch people wait that the traffic light become green to cross the road even if there is any cars. Moreover, dutch traffic lights have the particularity to do noise ; the noise change with the color. We think that is for blind people ; they can cross the road easier with the noise.

This movie show how the traffic operate light :
