From Monday 19 October, cyclists on a short stretch of the Amstelveenseweg cycle path in Zuid will have to keep their speed to 20 kilometres per hour.
The limit is a trial run by the municipality together with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management, and it lasts until 13 November.
The aim is to find out whether a speed limit makes a cycle path safer.
A busy, narrow stretch
The limit applies only in the Schinkelbuurt, between Eerste Schinkelstraat and Zeilstraat, where the path is crowded and narrow and accidents are common.
New traffic signs and road markings will tell cyclists about the limit.
Counted, not fined
Nobody will be fined for riding faster than the limit.
Instead, a counter will keep track of how many cyclists stick to it.
The measuring equipment will be removed after 13 November.
Whatever the counter on Amstelveenseweg finds, anyone cycling through Zuid can brush up on how cycling works under Amsterdam’s traffic rules before the trial starts.
