My city has large parking lots just outside the city center, great public transport and the city is actually walkable. The city council limits the sprawl by ... not allowing it(sic).
We welcome many foreign visitors (mostly German) every weekend and they seem to have no problems with it.
- HPsquared 5y agoThe only thing my city centre is particularly good for is going out drinking. Coincidentally that's the only activity you can't do with a car.
- the-dude 5y agoWe have that too and we use bicycles for that ( approx 10km radius ).
- patrick451 5y agoIt is generally illegal to cycle while intoxicated.
- the-dude 5y agoCorrect. But you will not get fined by the Dutch police unless you do something additionally stupid.
- throw0101a 5y ago> My city has large parking lots just outside the city center, great public transport and the city is actually walkable. An interesting experiment would be that if you pay for parking at the city edge, your parking stub can act as a (family pass?) transit ticket.

- the-dude 5y agoI had to look it up, since I live in the center, but this is what we have. The parking is free and the bus fee is € 6 for two-way to the center, and addtionally for all lines in the city within an hour of parking or leaving.
