Most of the museums and attractions are concentrated in a small area, which is easily covered on foot. Large underground car parks are centrally located and offer a safer option than looking for on-street parking. There are a great number of bicycles and motorcycles in the Netherlands and special care should be taken, particularly when turning, to avoid accidents with them. Many roads have special cycle paths and it is important to stop short of a junction to keep this lane clear. Cyclists on these paths have right of way.
Minor routes bear the prefix 'N'.
Generally, the roads are well maintained and clearly signposted. Because of the vast canal system throughout the Netherlands, there are numerous drawbridges on roads in urban and rural areas. Many of the streets in the cities, towns and villages are constructed of stone or cobbles which can be hazardous when wet. There are a number of general touring maps widely available throughout the Netherlands. Some of the best are produced by Michelin, Bartholomew, Hildebrand, Falk, Hallwag, RAC and AA Baedeker.
