A step in the right direction but I would prefer to have all non-essential car traffic banned in the inner city. They take up too much space and are in the way when I'm trying to get to work.
And they cite health and lung issues from pollution, but the vast majority of modern car pollution comes from tire and brake dust. https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2023/07/09/tire-brake-tailpipes-emissions-pollution-cars/
Then it should be mentioned as well that brake dust is vastly reduced for electric vehicles at least, since the can often use regenerative braking without any friction.
Sometimes. But less so in stop and go traffic. Also since BEVs are very heavy tire, road and brake wear are all accelerated.
Hopefully the first step in that direction. I think it's easier to introduce legislation like this in parts.
If they banned all non-essential car traffic there'd probably be too many complaints. Reducing it partly, similar to how the shitty car structure was introduced, is the best way to keep people on with it
