I am OP and quite the driver myself. However, I never drive in the inner city (~ 5km radius from city hall) in my town because: a) it's annoying due to overloaded traffic b) it's annoying due to parking c) my job provides me with year-long public transport ticket and taking a car and paying for all certain and possible costs is economically disadvantageous d) public transport is amazing, taxis work and ride sharing and car sharing exist on top of it for cases when public transport shuts down (during major incidents usually, e.g. finding yet another WW2 bomb at some construction site) Just cut it down to business/public traffic and reinvigorate inner city life with more sensible things. It actually already happens from now and then for festivities and other events and people start using ALL of the space that cars uselessly take up.
