Says they're expecting a 30% drop in traffic from these changes. Definitely way off from car-free.
It's a common practice in a lot of cities in Europe and the result is that you rarely ever see a car in those areas. We call those pedestrian streets and people treat the whole street as a giant sidewalk.
Pedestrian streets don't allow personal cars or taxis or buses at all. Only work cars
In my hometown we still call them pedestrian streets even though local residents are still allowed to drive in and out. As I said, it rarely happens anyway.
I wonder if that image is AI or just very carefully edited to remove all the license plates and brands.
Edited. You can see where they used to be. AI generation would either smooth it over, or generate the almost-text stuff you see in other images.
