Hey Stijn, I saw a piece on the news about the Dutch traffic system they are apparently trying in a bunch of areas. Basically goes like this:

There are no traffic rules! The intersections are not signal or stopsign controlled, but are all roundabouts. The only traffic rule is the person on the right has the right of way. Otherwise, anything goes. Go fast? No problem. Go slow? Ok. Park in the middle of the street? Fine.

The theory is people are safer drivers when there are no rules because it is unpredictable. They have to always look out for "the other guy" doing something crazy. So everyone is ultra-attentive.

Have you seen that??? How does it work?
