Tegelijk groen
Tegelijk groen(Dutch pronunciation:[təɣəˌlɛikˈxrun];lit. 'simultaneously green'), commonly translated asall directions greenand also known as abike scramble,[1]is a traffic rule in the Netherlands allowing bicycles to cross designated intersections at the same time from all sides. The all-cross phasing for bicycles was invented inGroningenin 1989. On the Groningen crossings wheretegelijk groenwas introduced, no more fatal accidents between bicycles and motorised traffic have occurred since. Cyclists must coordinate the crossing spontaneously, as no side has priority.Priority to the rightdoes not hold, so in case of an accident, no cyclist can claim that the other took their right of way.[2][3]
The rule will be introduced on intersections in Belgium under the namesquare green for cyclists(Dutch:vierkant groen;French:vert intégral) on 1 September 2026.[4]The rule will also be rolled out for pedestrians, i.e., as apedestrian scramble.[5][6][7][8][9]
