The Dutch solution for safer sidewalks - Continuous Sidewalks

Time to get excited about SIDEWALKS! The Netherlands does a lot to ensure a safe environment for pedestrians and cyclists, but the one that stands out the most for me is continuous sidewalks.

This video explores the basic concept of these safer sidewalks that are used everywhere in the Netherlands, but extremely rare (or poorly implemented) in other countries. This is an important part of the sustainable safety / vision zero efforts of the Netherlands to make streets safer for vulnerable road users.
