Not really that necessary in NL. Most people are cruising the city at 18-20kph. The fietsers on the ebikes obviously go faster, but in heavy traffic, you’re not gonna go full speed anyhow.

These are bikes only, very low speed interactions. The sort where if you do bump into someone, it’s just a foot on the ground at worst.
