Bicycles, Mopeds and Scooters
In the Netherlands, many people ride a bicycle. That’s why many streets have dedicated bicycle lanes. So if you are riding a bicycle, always use these lanes, they are mandatory. If you are on a street without a bicycle lane, it is of course important that you are seen and drive safely. Always stay on the right as much as possible and follow the Dutch traffic rules. One important rule: even on a bicycle, don’t drink and drive!
Employment for children is allowed as from age 15 however subject to limitations.
There are three different types of lanes in the Netherlands for bicycles, mopeds and scooters. In the schedule underneath you can see which lane to use, depending on your vehicle. Please note that driving a moped or a scooter with a yellow registration plate (maximum speed of 45 km) requires wearing a helmet.
