Tiles placed in the pavement indicate that you are expected not to smoke on the street. With this, the street becomes the first ‘smoke-free’ street in Amsterdam. It is not an officially imposed smoking ban, but a friendly request because residents are bothered by the smoke and the cigarette butts on the ground.
