I think the ANWB has downloadable maps and I bought a bike map at the VVV.

I translated it as ‘crossing-point’: on the highways, it tends to be an exit onto an intersection. I haven’t noted the bicycle route use.
Aside, is there a place to get Bicycle Route maps (or to download them)? I suppose ANWB has the books, but I’m looking for something compact and free (or a book if it has good touring hints about sights along the way and good spots for a biertje).
Off to file my visa renewal (not quite late, but getting close…)

Yep, I think they are everywhere. I should probably hunt up some pictures so people know what they look like too.

I never knew about knoopunten. Are they every where? I’ll have to look out for them now.

Wonderful and informative! The landscape of Limburg is quite unique in the NL and I can imagine that biking around the area must be really nice, especially in the summer.
“knooppunten” are used on motorways too, very useful when you want to know what exit you need to take with your car
Thanks for sharing this!
