You don’t even need rings, Barcalona converted regular blocks into what they call superblocks. Imagine the lines of tic-tac-toe (the inside lines of a 3x3 table) being converted to wide footpaths and bike lanes basically creating miniature ‘autoluwe zones’. Not necessarily by prohibiting cars entirely but making the those streets impractical for through traffic.
Yup, that’s even easier to implement and could be done in any city within a few years. I just can’t fathom why almost every single street in almost every single city MUST support through traffic. Even in cities with great public transport and great infra for walking/cycling, with only a fraction of the citizens driving cars, somehow cars are still allowed to drive through basically everywhere. Looking at you Helsinki…
