Amsterdam Warning or Danger Tips by JessH

Public transport in Amsterdam is very good, well laid-out and mostly on time... their punctuality must be a direct result of the way they drive: like a gouda-wheel outta hell!
It seemed to me like nobody had ever bothered to explain to the drivers, cyclists and pedestrians who has right of way on the roads; everyone seems a bit confused when they actually find themselves on a collison course with someone or something.

When you see a bus or tram approaching the station, step well back and keep your distance. Also don't trust that when you are planning to cross the street that the driver will see you (or even care if he does!). Exercise caution, even on zebra crossings.

Basically, walking around Amsterdam is a great experience with lots to see, to do and to taste.

And after a few days, you'll be a master at tiptoeing around dog poopies, whilst keeping your eyes on the trams and busses, not slipping on the cobble stones and dodging cyclists at the same time!
