@dr2chase@meganL the education and enforcement is certainly different in the Netherlands, but I'm not sure about not-yielding to peds. Are you sure that wasn't more of a waiting, like how people here won't step off the curb until cars go by? (Almost like with their nose to a wall.) If people keep walking, I yield / go behind them, but don't stop to ask if they would like to cross now (often drivers will blow by while you do this anyway.) Do peds often get mowed down by ppl on bikes there?
