    In Germany, we have the wonderful Radwegebenutzungspflicht (obligation to use cycle paths). Unfortunately most drivers don’t realize this only applies to about 10% of Germany’s cycle paths, which are marked by a blue sign. They think the obligation applies to all cycle paths, and so they keep giving cyclists shit.

      In germany, you have traffic lights that give cars green before bicycles finish passing the road.

      And also, there’s no darn orange to warn cyclists to stop. You come in at speed and the light just instantly go from green to red.

      And on top of that, some bicycle paths just end in a highway with no indication or warning.

      German cycling infrastructure is bad
