1. Presentation<\/strong><\/p>\n Planning of specific areas exempt from cars<\/strong> by prohibiting access, closing roads or relocating space for cyclists and pedestrians. This measure works by itself to completely remove the car. In contrast, the Limited car access zones measure seeks to reduce traffic and, despite being the most effective, it only works if associated with other measures of the same type.<\/p>\n The Car free zones measure applies to cases where the active modes’ need for space is too high, making it impossible to share the space with motorized modes (as is the case of shopping streets). This measure can also be extended to larger areas.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2. Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3. Measure\u2019s Importance<\/strong><\/p>\n Restricting car use coupled with the creation of favourable conditions for soft mobility provide comfort and safety for the cycling, and helps to create an efficient and attractive environment for other active modes of transport. These measures contribute to make more pleasant streets and less dominated by motorized transport.<\/p>\n\n
