Since you don't believe me here are quotes from individuals who live in and bike in amsterdam:
Bakefiets en meer:
Everybody knows that cyclists in Amsterdam generally proceed with caution but ignore traffic signals. One waits only when it’s either unsafe or the police are watching. Like it or not, that’s the practice.
Amsterdamize (from the comments):
I can attest to the fact that one of Amsterdam’s ‘unwritten rules’ is that you can ignore full stops or lights, you assess the situation (also based on the ped light Henry mentions) and ride safely across. I call it 100% sound anticipation.
