In the Netherlands, cyclists must follow specific rules to ensure safety and harmony on the roads. 

• Keep right → Always cycle on the right side of the bike path or road.
• Use bike lanes → If there’s a designated bike lane, you must use it.
• Signal with your hand → Extend your arm left or right to show where you’re turning.
• Don’t use your phone → It’s illegal to hold a phone while cycling (hands-free is allowed). 
• Lights at night → Front (white/yellow) and back (red) lights are mandatory when it’s dark.
• No passengers → Only one person per bike, unless it’s specially designed for more.
• Follow traffic lights & signs → Cyclists must obey all traffic signals and rules.
• Yield to pedestrians → Especially at crossings and in shared spaces.
• Park responsibly → Use bike racks and avoid blocking sidewalks, entrances, or streets. Always lock your bike when parked!
• Shark Teeth → Always stop when you see the triangle ‘shark teeth’ markings pointing at you. They mean you must give way to other traffic.
• Be alert → Watch out for trams, cars, and other cyclists—Dutch traffic can be busy!
