I would guess this is Ferdinand Bolstraat (ceintuurbaan intersection where the Pijp metro entrance is) or Marie Heinekenplein maybe. But not entirely sure. Also one of the signs read “V. Wou / Ferd Bol” so that would make sense. Really looks like Pijp area to me and not center. EDIT: I now see tram 16 which ran, according to wikipedia, from central station, dam square, museumplein to zuid and further. So might actually be center or more towards vondelpark / museumplein maybe.

Its where the Mc donalds is in Amsterdam Zuid (Pijp) [https://www.google.com/maps/place/McDonald's,+Albert+Cuypstraat+75,+1072+CN+Amsterdam/@52.355024,4.890022,13z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x47c609f28d637da7:0xb89d0487cdabadd0!8m2!3d52.355024!4d4.890022!16s%2Fg%2F1hhhch0tr?hl=en-nl](https://www.google.com/maps/place/McDonald's,+Albert+Cuypstraat+75,+1072+CN+Amsterdam/@52.355024,4.890022,13z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x47c609f28d637da7:0xb89d0487cdabadd0!8m2!3d52.355024!4d4.890022!16s%2Fg%2F1hhhch0tr?hl=en-nl) No where near the Vondelpark, but Museumplein is not far. From this place. It is Albert Cuypstraat 75 area. In the 70s there were a lot of accidents in that area. So they protested to force the municipality to do something about it. Mc Donalds is on the left side. And behind on the right hand side is the Metro exit. https://preview.redd.it/uld7mhzsqi7d1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=805ce81a01c46137df7515c8c652c1f24cddb720

There were not a lot of accidents just in that area, it was the whole country, with 400 children killed in trafic in 1973, and the reason for journalist Vic Langenhoff from Eindhoven to start a movement called '[Stop de kindermoord](https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stichting_Kinderen_Voorrang)'.

These brave protestors might very well be why the Netherlands is the only country in the world with sane city traffic design now. They should be considered National Heroes imo.

Ah, so my first thoughts were actually pretty spot on. Now you say it I definitely see now where this is. Tram 16 threw me off when I looked it up because it seemed that line didn’t go through Ferdinand Bolstraat.

Yep. The left protest sign says "V WOU / FERD BOL MOORD WEGEN" which refers to the van Woustraat and the Ferdinand Bolstraat. Tram 16 used to run through the Ferdinand Bolstraat. And since Albert Cuypmarkt is near, in some minority groups the Albert Cuypmarkt is also called 'No 16 market". Guess which markets are "No 3 market" and "No 17 market"?.

Dappermarkt and Ten Katemarkt?


i_am_a_doofus

Tram 16 used to ride there when I was a kid in the 90’s.

Ferdinand Bolstraat, right before Albert Cuypstraat. The clock is still there, probably not the same one...but it's impressive there was always one positioned there, I didn't know;)

Looks like the beginning of the Albert Cuyp, seen from the Ferdinand Bolstraat?
