Surely we can come up with a better term than "anti-car" laws. In virtually all the cases I've seen they're basically attempts to reverse over-dedication to car-specific infrastructure of precious urban space - i.e. to use that space for something that improves the urban environment for everyone - and yes, often including those who realistically have no choice but to drive (delivery vans etc.). Cars are great for many things, but most of reasons they're not are because so many of us are given few realistic alternative choices due to the nature of how our cities have been built (which we had very little collective say in), hence we all end up using them for almost every journey, with predictable consequences. It doesn't make sense to consider attempts to fix that as "anti-" anything.
