How to Survive an ‘All Cyclists Green’ Intersection

If you’ve cycled in Groningen, then you’ve no doubt come across them. Traffic lights where cyclists from all directions have green at the same time. If it’s your first time encountering a traffic light like that, it can be a bit of a shock to the system, especially at rush hour. Cyclists criss-crossing, seemingly willy nilly.

An ‘all cyclist green’, sometimes called ‘all directions green’ traffic light, is an ingenious piece of cycling infrastructure that actually makes cycling safer. For even though it might look like insanity to a bystander, cyclist never have to cross paths with motorised traffic. They encounter only each other in a chaotic, but organised way.
