Streets can either move cars quickly or attract social and economic activity. They can’t do both.
The Hague discovered this in 2009, removing all motor traffic from Grote Marktstraat; a four-lane arterial.
It is now one of the most successful shopping streets in all of Benelux.
@STPBike Sorry to hear about your e-bike. Did the Tern HSD s8i come with a GPS tracker, or did you install an aftermarket tracker chip to help you locate the bike?
In Denmark and the Netherlands, more women cycle than men, enabled by networks that support their transport needs. To enable more women to cycle on mass in the UK we need to build networks that meet the needs of women and move far beyond a focus on commuters #IWD2022#BikeIsBest
