- ArnoVW 3y agoyou're both right. generally what's happening is a combination of: * making pedestrian zones (i.e. banning) * deny access to certain types / times (no vans, no old cars, etc.. i.e. also banning) * reducing roads (i.e. 2 > 1 lane, thus reducing attractivity) * raising driving prices (the congestion / air quality certificates you mention) * reducing access to parking (remove places, make them more expensive, etc) .. all the while increasing alternatives (i.e. use those reduced lanes for bikes)
