Here's what happens when cities ban cars

Berlin campaigners are gathering signatures for a referendum to establish a car-reduced central zone, limiting private car access to 12 times annually while allowing essential vehicles like emergency services and delivery trucks. European cities including Oslo and Paris have implemented successful traffic reduction strategies: Oslo’s 2017 car-free program cut traffic by 28% and boosted pedestrian/cyclist activity, while Paris used its 15-minute city model to restrict through traffic, reducing congestion by 6% in central zones without full bans.
