Wait, do you go over or under the freeway ramps? The map makes me think it’s under, but from your description it sounds like you’re going over?
Either way it looks like a very dangerous walk.

I doubt they’re going to introduce a lot of new infrastructure from the beginning. It’s probably going to be signs and new regulations at first. Like when they restricted mopeds from using the bicycle lanes.
Maybe I’m mistaken though. I’m not a resident, I just work in Amsterdam.
The problem about speeds is not so much how serious an injury you get when you have a collision, but more how much damage you cause to others. Especially during rush hour, the lanes can be crowded with people going to work, kids going to school, etc.
As long as everyone cycles at about the same speed, it’s not that much of a problem. But those bigger e-bikes are way faster (and heavier) and can cause quite a bit of damage when they hit someone. Preferably they should create separate lanes for faster cyclists instead of forcing them on the motorways.
Anyway, if you’re interested I did a quick search about the problem and got you a translated link to a recent article about the problems.
Saved. Definitely going to try the Avgolemono soup and Sopa de Ajo, they sound delicious :)
Those who choose the bike path must adhere to a speed limit of 20 kilometers per hour.
Thank goodness. Some of those e-bikes are becoming a serious menace on the bicycle paths these days. There’s a growing trend where especially fat bikes get modified to go faster than their original speed and without having to actually pedal. I wonder how they’re going to enforce this though.

Proceed to give the fakest and most strained smile in history to airport security and get pulled aside… again.
Ah, now I see. Sorry, I read three and my head automatically only saw the overpasses.
Sorry you have to deal with these kinds of situations. I’d ask if you could address these problems with the town council, but I’m guessing the answer will be very predictable.
