In the study on the redivision and reconstruction of Eindhoven, the improvement of junctions in the ring road was mentioned. These junctions have special bicycle provisions. The effect of the introduction of traffic signal control and conflict free phases for cyclists and moped riders at these junctions is studied. Before the introduction many accidents occurred, due to the fact that cyclists and moped riders rode straight through, and the car-drivers went to the right thus crossing the route of the cyclists and moped riders. By introducing conflict free phases in the traffic signal control of these junctions, it is shown that these conflict free phases have a significantly useful effect on the number of accidents of through, going and moped riders, in which a lorry or bus was involved. When cars were involved, there were no significant differences.
