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.
There are barely any cars in central Berlin anyway.
Can you specify which “central” Berlin? the “center” or rather centers of Berlin are many and big. And most of them are choked full of cars. The government district and Tiergarten, which is a big park are a bit of an exception. Although there is the whole roundabout the Siegessäule with 5 or so three lanes per direction, streets leading off of it and regularly being full with traffic.
The center West around Zoologischer Garten and Kurfürstendamm is a complete car-brained nightmare and the center East around Alexanderplatz is until Brandenburger Tor is a bit less crazy but still quite a bit. However when you get to the streets leading up there, it is complete madness.
For the Siegessäule see the picture and imagine it to be mostly full.
