Berlin could soon set the bar for human-centered cities around the world, now that a long-sought ballot measure is finally being released from political limbo.
I’ve just been to Berlin last week. There are barely any cars in central Berlin anyway. Whatever they do it’s already working without the need for a special regulation (and associated problems of trying to legislate everyday behavior).
They do lack pedestrian streets, but that’s not the issue here.
I’m afraid this move will just be seen as politically antagonistic without any real benefits.
Its funny when europeans complain about carbrains. They have no idea what north american car brain looks like
I was told italy was very carbained yet they have trains going everywhere at very high frequencies and i felt very safe walking around everywhere when i visited
I am not suggesting that europeans wait until it gets really bad before complaining about the problem.
I’ll agree that the traffic was not bad at all. I was expecting much worse! But given how good the public transport system is there, I think if I lived there I’d only ever use a car to travel out of Berlin rather than within it.

Did you happen to be there when traffic was blocked off in the centre, by any chance? Because there are shit tons of cars around usually.
Berlin? Last week? No shit, me too!
I went to see Linkin Park 🤘

Found out about the concert when I tried to visit the Olympic stadium and it was closed for visitors 🙂
