Announcing the 1976 budget the Dutch Minister of Transport introduced two so-called demonstration projects, especially concerning bicycles and mopeds. In Tilburg, an industrial town in the south of the country with about 155.000 inhabitants, a special east-west right of way was established for exclusive use by these two means of transport, which are very popular in Holland. As the Dutch government endeavours to restricts car usage in favour of public transport and bicycles further investigations have been made into the choice pattern of road users. The article describes the various aspects of the Tilburg plan, which was completed in 1976.
