‘s-Hertogenbosch or often referred to as ‘Den Bosch’ is a city in the south of the Netherlands with a population of around 150,000 people. Although being a very cycling friendly city, there was a missing link for people cycling from its northern suburbs to the center. With a local leadership that is not afraid of trying new ideas, the city built a unique solution designed by the engineering consultant Arcadis to complete its network.
A big thank you to BicycleDutch for giving me permission to use his footage of van Berckelstraat before construction. You can subscribe to his channel here.

Gemeente ‘s Hertogenbosch provided helpful information about how the new street functions.
Also a big shotout to the engineering consultant Arcadis for designing a unique solution in a challenging environment and offering a template for other cities can use to tackle similair problems!

Impossible. A bike network is never finished. As the city and the demands develop, do does the infrastructure need to adapt. Nowadays, even the types of bikes (more e-bikes) cause new challenges that I am sure will spark future changes.
Hey, under 20 minutes until premier!
Incredible
Nice video! I really like the cycling infrastructure there.
That was indeed very nice made, a little short but nice
Always enjoy seeing propagandart to save the human race. 😉
Epic!
And I really wasn't expecting to see 's-Hertogenbosch, haha, though I guess if I would've looked better at the thumbnail I should've seen it 😉
Pog
Nice animations! 👊
Know way a video about my beautiful home town
Very nicely done!
Omg, so much work went into this! Great video and interesting to see something outside of Amsterdam in the Netherlands!
I didn't know I needed a Call of Duty x Dutch cycling planning mash up, but I did. Thank you.
This had me laughing so hard! Oh jeez I shouldn't have watched this in my cubicle it was too hard to keep from making noise LOL
Your production skills are clearly improving! Perhaps this question is outside of your expertise, but do you have any idea how we can make public transport more economically competitive with car travel? We already tax car use a lot and subsidize public transport. Yet, in Holland even single person trips are currently not cheaper by bus and train than they are by car.
What a beautiful, thoughtful stretch of urban landscape! And not a centimeter dedicated to the storage of privately-owned motor vehicles. May this be the future for us all.
It's only finished, when the last person has abandoned their private car 😉
But yep, bridges are shockingly often the cause for gaps in the bike network here as well. Or for one-sided bike lanes within the city.
Hahaha, well done man, great format! If Arcadis takes this over for every infrastructure project they build I am sure a lot of people would be way more interested in what they do and in civil engineering in general. Great editing, keep it up!
I love the fact that it so over the top, really does it for me 😀
This is amazing, more of this 😂
Think I figured out where to go to leave Trudeas nazi dictatorship
Excellent podcast on 'the Urbanist Agenda'!
I was dragged in until the conversation released me at the end. So good to hear the difference between a traffic engineer and a civil engineer who does roads. Hope many take the time and listen.
Its obvious that there was alot of effort put into this one, definitely looking forward to more info on this area
bro dropped the hardest cycling infrastructure edit known to mankind and thought we wouldn't notice
I often walk past this bridge but I never cross it so I had no idea that they were working on this street 😂😅 thanks for the news report haha 🙂
Cool! 😁
Nice intro, but can't get over the fact that Den Bosch isn't in the box you zoomed in on!
Ayy outstanding video!
Now we have to wait until the road right of this one finally gets upgraded to modern standards, cycling from the Arena to here is a nightmare, the infrastructure is still in the 90s
I imagine this took a lot of work with the effects and all. Great job!
I am not sure about the style itself and if it fits as your own style, that's for you to decide. But it is informative in an interesting way.
