Ending the Ceaseless Cycle of Car Dependency – Close the streets to auto traffic

Two main points can be extracted from this article: 1) building more roads doesn’t mean alleviating traffic flow but instead could even make congestion worse; 2) closing a street down to cars improves pedestrian and cycling share and the overall number of cars will be reduced, thus less congestion throughout the city.
Currently, that paradigm is slowly shifting to a new one. In a rather considerable number of cities, city centres, as well as many other streets, are being closed to cars.
