So I had a rainy weekend cycling in København.
The cycle paths go where you need them to go, wide, smooth and drains pretty well; no major puddles. The bus stop bypasses are very good
Light controlled junctions are an interesting one, they are typically two phases where cars bikes and walkers go at the same time inline with one street. Cars turning left or right have to give way to bikes and peds. I guess that right hooks are less likely to happen because a driver is more likely to expect bikes along the cycle path. The consistent infrastructure is good.
Compared to Dutch junctions I do feel more exposed, the stop line is much further back, behind pedestrian crossings and you typically don't have a free right turn. When you're walking, you typically wait less than a UK junction because of the two phase system.
Who else has been there? Any thoughts?
