    The original Mom-assist™️. The “controller” is calibrated to kick in when it detects tired little legs and/or it’s time to head back. “Powered” by cities with 30km/hr roads and paths wide enough for people to ride side by side having a conversation.

    Dutch engineers consider the existence of a stop sign a design failure. With the right traffic calming measures such as raised intersections, textured paving and lane narrowing; moving on local streets increases vigilance and awareness, making a complete stop entirely redundant.

    Slower speeds are achieved not by posting a sign, but by engineering means that force drivers to slow down and pay attention. Dutch police do very little traffic enforcement; if too many drivers speed on a street, it is deemed a design failure and sent back to the drawing board.
