Dutch traffic rule
...while bicycles cross from all sides.
Tegelijk groen
(
Netherlands
Dutch pronunciation:
[t????l??k
?run]
lit.
'
simultaneously green
'
), commonly translated as
all directions green
and also known as a
bike scramble
[1]
is a traffic rule in the Netherlands allowing bicycles to cross designated intersections at the same time from all sides. The all-cross phasing for bicycles was invented in
Groningen
in 1989. On the Groningen crossings where
tegelijk groen
was introduced, no more fatal accidents between bicycles and motorised traffic have occurred since. Cyclists must coordinate the crossing spontaneously, as no side has priority.
Priority to the right
does not hold, so in case of an accident, no cyclist can claim that the other took their right of way.

[3]
The rule will be introduced on intersections in Belgium under the name
square green for cyclists
(Dutch:
vierkant groen
, French:
vert integral
) on 1 September 2026.
[4]
The rule will also be rolled out for pedestrians, i.e., as a
pedestrian scramble
.
