Bermtoerisme or bermrecreatie (roadside tourism or recreation) was a Dutch phenomenon in the 20th century. The Dutch would park their car or motorbike at the side of the motorway and watch the cars go by.

It was a widespread pastime for the whole family, including picnicking by the roadside. Dedicated rest areas or picnic sites were usually not yet available. Later, parking by the roadside was banned.​:laugh_animated:​
