Fascinating to watch this live feed of a Dutch roundabout in action, any time of the day or night you choose

Yep, fascinating at 4:40am local time...are you sure it isn't a photograph?

Just wait another 2-3 hours then things should hot up a bit.

I just saw a 16 foot wide spider fly across the rounda.... oh wait its on the lens.

A taxi giving way to a cyclist??!?

Does that mean it is photoshopped ?

No, it just means it is in Europe

It's so... so... orderly.

Wow... I just found an adult equivalent of my childhood ant farm.

I think the video feed is garbled, they're driving on the wrong side of the road....

What the...? I just started watching it and someone on a motorbike just went around it 5 or 6 times.

That's illegal and we've been told that the dutch obey all the rules.. OMGosh

Why are there motor bikes riding at a pretty fair speed along the bike paths? I would have assumed that full on motor bikes would be restricted to riding on the roadway with other motor vehicles.

Every car i've seen so far has indicated off the roundabout perfectly. I could just about cry.

Dutch rules allow mopeds (?) to be ridden on bike paths. It is the one thing that I have heard friends of mine complain about the Dutch cycling experience - they are often ridden by teens; no requirement for a licence below a certain power level I think.

here you go....mopeds on Dutch bike paths.

Well well.....seems as though there's idiots that take advantage of the system everywhere.

Excitement at 2:15am... 2 police cars pulled up for a long chat in the middle of the roundabout, and then as they pulled away a fox(?) ran across the road (using the zebra crossing of course! ).
I think I found the roundabout in google maps, or something much like it... its smack in the middle of Purmerend, at the intersection of Gorslaan, Purmerweg and Churchillaan (named after Winston I guess).

looks like a spaceship

aaalright, now the sun is up and we're cookin with gas.

cars comin through, that's it, nicely does it, share the road.....









I feel like such a voyeur.

IKR?! Hawt.

Completely mesmerising.

And so humorous watching cars give way to bikes as they exit the roundabout. Humorous in an "I have to laugh or I will cry" kind of way.

I feel like I am watching a group of paid actors who are all taking part in a "how to use a round-about properly" training video.

Just waiting for Troy McClure to come on screen..
