About the Netherlands. There are two types of mopeds. One is classified for 25 km per hour, the other for 45 km per hour. The bikes are the same but this is achieved with a different cilinder head, so the pressure is lower for the slower bikes.
A slower bike is always on the bike path, in both cities and - where possible - outside of cities. The faster bikes is more complicated. In the cities they are not allowed to ride 45 km. They also must keep a speed limit of 25. However, no one does! Within the cities there are signs per road saying 'on path' or 'on road'. Outside of the cities they ride on the road. Exceptions are for instance with roundabouts, then they go on the bike path.
This a sample of a sign.
Left part says 'go on the road'
Middle part says 'got off the road'
Right part indicates a bike path for both bikes and mopeds.
This is it in general, with about 3592 different side rules for all possible situations.
Easy as can be!
Fortune and Glory, kid. Fortune and Glory.
