There are no more borders in the European Union. However, you will always know where the Netherlands begins. (lemmy.ml)

Yeah, The Netherlands really shows that it's a rich country with it's infrastructure. Maybe the best in the world, especially when you add everything together:

good public transport (train schedules are unreliable though)
great bicycle infrastructure (only Denmark compares)
great roads
but what really seals the deal: the level of maintenance and cleanliness: in all European countries you see blown out tires and crap at the side of the road. Not in The Netherlands. Accident? Lane blocked, stewards mostly first to arrive. Damage to road? It gets fixed in hours if needed.

I think I read somewhere we spend the most on road maintenance/infrastructure per capita.
