The bottom photo looks like what is called a Fußgängerzone in Germany and exists in just about every city in Germany as well as NL. A fine destination for bicyclists to ride to and park or walk their bikes and enjoy as a pedestrian.

It is meant for pleasant shopping, dining and walking by pedestrians and is NOT inviting for anyone riding through on a bicycle. It is NOT a bicycle route or bicycle path. It is a destination and may have places dedicated for bicycle parking.
