Das Ufer der Seine wurde nicht sofort autofrei. Hidalgo testete es erst 1x/Monat und als sie sah wie gut es ankam, öffnete sie die Straße dauerhaft.

Nun, derzeit ist die Champs-Elysées 1x/Monat geöffnet. Schätze also wir dürfen bald eine neue autofrei Straße in Paris bewundern😊

By enabling safe and active travel, Dutch cities prevent an estimated one million car journeys to school each morning.” — Chris and Melissa Bruntlett in #CurbingTraffic @modacitylife

As our kids go #BackToSchool, never forget that we ARE the traffic that we’re using as an excuse. If more walked, biked or rode transit to school, it would erase a massive number of car trips each day, and our kids would be safer, healthier and better at school.

Spread the word.

I don’t hate cars. I hate surrendering our cities and our lives to them.

Reducing space for cars is often equated with reducing access for people with disabilities.

This is not only false, it prevents cities from creating enabling environments; where those who can't drive can still move safely, conveniently, and autonomously.
