- Live-streaming from the streets of Amsterdam. Or in today's case, Amstelveen, a suburb of Amsterdam.
Patreon: / notjustbikes
Twitter: / notjustbikes
Main channel: / notjustbikes
Rules and guidelines of the Live Stream (cribbed from ActionKid NYC):
No racism, sexism, harassment, toxicity, violence, or impersonation.
No spamming the chat (slow-chat is usually enabled).
No discussions meant to incite drama.
No NSFW content.
No revealing of the streamer or other users' personal information unless they have already been made public.
Keep chat in English (occassional Dutch is OK).
Avoid political & religious discussions.
Avoid lengthy discussions between other users on the live chat.
"Stream Sniping": the practice of meeting up with the streamer, or taking actions against the streamer while they are live without prior arrangement, is strongly discouraged. It's not fair to everyone else on the chat, and it's a bit creepy. But if you do see me, feel free to wave and say hi (before going about your day)!

Equipment (currently in flux as I test different solutions, don't go buying this stuff on my recommendation):
GoPro HERO 7 Black (with HDMI out)
URayTech H.264 HDMI Encoder (HDMI / 4G LTE)
RØDE Wireless Go with Shure MVL/A lavalier microphone
4G Network: T-Mobile Nederland
The GoPro HERO 9 Black is even more of a buggy piece of crap than a usual GoPro and should never be used for live-streaming. I've learned my lessons the hard way. You have been warned!

This is the streamer from Belgium who streams his truck driving (my stream cut out while I was talking about his channel):

It's cool to watch him drive a large truck through the narrow streets of Belgium.
Love hearing your perspective on our infrastructure! This stuff just feels normal to us, thinking about it makes us appreciate it more
Yes, I feel like this is spreading important cultural awareness. 😁
Graphics design and its functionality has a long tradition that got applied in the whole concept of signalling at large. I always noticed how much detail is given to it in the Netherlands compared to other places I've been or seen. These things are seldom noticed by those accustomed to it.
It's funny how your wife was talking about the airport, and your passing underneath a viaduct with a sign on it that says NAP -3.8M (18:35). The NAP stands for Nieuw Amsterdams Peil and refers to the waterlevel of Amsterdam. Its the baseline for the entire country. Your driving on a highway, straight through the Haarlemmermeer, a polder, nearly 4 meters below sealevel, and completely oblivious to it. It used to be a inland sea where battles were fought with ships and many were sunk. Later when they we're building the airport back in the 1920's they dug up parts of the ships and they called the airport Schiphol, which freely translates into ship graveyard.
I've been to Amsterdam airport many times, and yet it didn't really hit me until now that it's actually below sea level. I mean, I've known for a long time, but it didn't hit me until I read your comment.
Hi, sorry to necro your comment. I'm Dutch as hell and I did not know this, so thank you for teaching me something new.
Ohhh haha I never knew that about Schiphol! I always wondered why it would sound like ship.
NAP hasn't meant "Nieuw Amsterdams Peil" for years. It means "Normaal Amsterdams Peil".
@@therealdutchidiot We have a word for that. It doesn't translate well but it involves ants and intercourse.
@NJB Live
At 28:30 you caught the perfect example where Dutch drivers tolerate 'red light running' by cyclists.
The grey haired lady (probably lived in the neighborhood all her life) ran several red lights without hindering any other traffic.
Here you see that the cyclist can be smarter than the smart traffic lights.
Local knowledge makes this lady can run the red lights with confidence.
This was so entertaining. Interesting even, in a "don't ever do this" kind of way. And a great illustration of why I will go to almost any length to avoid driving into a city.
I like it when you talk about whatever you see and add information on how things are elsewhere. [edited: I removed my question on what you are doing here since you answered the question in the video].
20:55 it's called a (open) spitsstrook, they also exist in some parts in the US. It's the only time you're allowed to cross the solid white lines as a normal car driver, as long as there isn't a red cross in the matrix bord and/or shown by signage that the lane is closed. There's quite a few of them on the right side in the netherlands, I know there's one on the A4 and A10 on the zuidas, A50 between arnhem and apeldoorn and A2 between Roermond and Heerle. I know there's also a few fastlane spitsstrook lanes that open when it's busy, often those are placed with a width restriction.
You are supposed to drive in the right most lane in the netherlands, so if you don't drive in the spitsstrook when it's open and there's enough space, you could get fined for lane-hogging.
They said they were going to remove them in the future and replace them with full on lanes, which is less confusing for foreign drivers. I agree to that.
They're also a growing thing in the UK, where they're introduced along with other traffic management technology.
They don't seem popular, people think they make the road more dangerous because there's no safe space for stationary vehicles.
@@papagatorackspanner they close the lane if someone breaks down. Either by road camera or a phone call from the road vehicle assistance to the highway managment.
But I agree that it is more plausible for accidents to happen while the lane is still open
Smooth highways, beautiful air and space , and then *THE* *ARCHITECTURE* !😳
Thanks
one small detail I noticed about the lane separator markings is that their length and spacing decreases in parts where cars should slow down, like intersections. that's so subtle, but it's genius!
I just discovered you have a live channel, and yes I enjoy watching you drive
Sound in a city can also be influenced by the subsoil. If the subsoil is rock I think vibrations will go further. But I am not sure. But I noticed it in Rome.
Heemstede, knew I recognised the name. It's right next to the the Zandvoort circuit.
Love to have discovered your channel before this live stream
This is fascinating television...
Agree !
Oooo Back to Black! Nice choice 👍 Amsterdam has an amazing variety of coffee bars
If only all drivers drove this way.
During the height of COVID i ended up in the center of Amsterdam by mistake as there was a road closed and my car's satnav was broken and I have terrible sense of direction. So i had to find a space to park to figure out my phone situation and get that to give me directions. That was when I suddenly noticed i parked say 50 meters from the Anne Frank house... Soooo that'll never happen again :D... I did take a picture or people would have never believed me :)
Thank you for pronouncing Renault correctly. 😊
I actually wasn't sure, so I just pronounced it how I would in French. 😂
@@njblive Which as it is a French brand seems like the right move ;-)
Car bad, train good.
Horse ... chaotic neutral.
@@njblive There are horse tracks in the dunes and some around the country. How chaotic that becomes depends on the season really. Autumn can be quite chaotic ;-)
@@njblive Now I need a full allignment chart
@@njblive Ponies especially.

I like to hear from you in which field or sector The Netherlands is not more progressive or ahead, than other countries, but more conservative than other countries? You as an observant foreigner, who lived here for quite some time, can point us Dutch where we stay behind or fall behind. I’m curious and I want to learn about your perspective on this subject. Or maybe not stay behind but in which field are we different or slower, where others progress (more/faster).
I generally stick to urban planning topics on these channels, and in that, the Netherlands is quite far ahead of just about everywhere (except perhaps in high-speed trains). In general, I find the Netherlands to be ahead in almost everything compared to other places I've lived. Though I think health care is better in the UK and Canada than here.
What were those markers on the right side around 10:20? Do they appear to recede when you're below speed limit, and advance when you're exceeding?
I think they're just part of the guardrail, but I'm not sure.
They're vertical plastic beams. NJB is driving at a speed where the frame rate of his camera is in sync with the next beam showing up.
There is a road on the other side; the markers are there to shield the drivers on either side from the glare of each other's headlights. The effect you're seeing is because of the camera; you don't see that in real life.
Really enjoyed this stream too!

You should never drive in the Amsterdam city center.
Driving home for Christmas...
Oh heck! You have cats? :D May we see them sometime please?
I'll ask, but they generally like to keep out of the limelight.
34:00, use Waze...
35:33 thats a red light....
@Don't Sacrifice Yoshis no, there is even a stop line on the street, its for when a tram is turning in or coming out of the section on the right
Alright I'll be that guy. Mrs NJB drives relatively slow. When literally everyone is overtaking you, you are not going with the flow which is bad. Maybe she thought she was going with the flow because she stayed behind the same big truck the whole time, but those trucks are actually limited to go 90. If you're doing your driving exam in the Netherlands and you go 10 below the limit/ not overtaking big slow trucks, you can actually fail your exam because of that. I know because they made it very clear to me, lol. Other than that looks good 👍
