Amsterdam city council has introduced an experimental speed limit of 20km/h for cyclists to see if riders can be persuaded to slow down.

Tourists, commuters and shoppers have all complained in recent years of feeling unsafe on the capital’s congested bike paths, but the only speed restriction is a 30 km/h limit for motor vehicles.

20km/h is pretty slow. I haven’t been to Amsterdam; but comparing NYC to a few European cities, NYC has much better signage. I suspect better signage would help the situation here; especially for people who don’t speak the common languages
