At this point, minor access roads are linked by short sections of cycle path producing a direct route for bikes but not for cars. While it may look like the junction loses priority for bikes, it does not. The Dutch traffic laws expect both drivers and cyclists to give way to the right at junctions like this, so the cars wait for you when you emerge on your bike.
This is an example of older infrastructure, possibly dating from the 1970s as do many of the houses around here.
The video was taken a while after the still. The post shown in the still had been removed to allow access for some nearby works.
