More new signage in the largest bike parking in the world. At the entrances it is now indicated which lane to choose for which floor and there are signs for merging traffic and the exits. And to make sure what kind of parking it is, they even painted bicycles on the floor 🤣🤣

About three years later, Utrecht hasn't recovered from banning cars. Especially in the evening, the city center is completely deserted because there are no other ways for inhabitants to move around the city than by car. 😏
Clear evidence of businesses in Utrecht going bankrupt and closing due to lack of car parking. Sources say, people just aren't visiting the area anymore since they can't drive there. Total ghost town. 🤷♂️

It's not a 'problem', it's a good thing.
In poorer countries people depend on public transport & bikes. When they get richer they want cars because they bring freedom.
Public transport will *never* be good enough for a free people to move around on.

“We can’t do that. We’re not Paris.”
Well, Paris wasn’t always like that either. In 10 years time, the city added 155,000 trees and 550 km of bicycle paths.
So stop making excuses and start making choices!
One year after Paris had built 52km of “corona tracks”, 60% of users were new cyclists, and the proportion of women increased 14%.
With 62% public support, €250m will be invested by 2026 to make those popup lanes permanent, add 130km more, and build 130,000 bike parking spaces.
