Priority for cycling is obviously desirable, but there are often circumstances where it is more appropriate to give priority to motor traffic, and to let people cycling decide for themselves when it is safe to cross. This may be the case on higher speed roads, or in places where there is heavy traffic.
This week's example fits both these criteria - a busy (and fast) road connecting to the Hoek van Holland ferry terminal, carrying plenty of lorry traffic. A cycle route has to cross this road, and it is designed without priority.
There are a number of features that make this kind of crossing safe and convenient for cycling. There is a large central refuge (large enough to safely accommodate larger cycles), meaning that only one lane of motor traffic has to be dealt with at a time.
The crossing has also been carefully positioned on a bend, where motor traffic has to slow down, regardless of the crossing. The sight lines are also good, for both people cycling and drivers, and the crossing is perpendicular, meaning anyone cycling does not have to crane their neck around to see oncoming traffic.
