Do you want to buy a used car？ Oslo, Norway will soon be a good place for you. It'll
be the fist European capital to ban all cars from the city center. The plan will start no later than 2019. About 350.000 car owners will need to sell their cars.
City government around the world are already banning cars from city center for special events. Philadelphia asked residents to stop driving their cars for four days when Pope Francis visited in late September. Philadelphia residents felt more relaxed, and children were free to play in the streets.
But there are more reasons to limit cars in cities. Cars are polluting the air throughout the world. Drivers waste time looking for parking places. Residents also feel safer without cars. A 2013 study by doctors in New York City said people were more likely to be hit by a car while in a crosswalk.
Car free cities may not be a fantasy if Oslo' S experience provides a strong example. The world will be watching and seeing how it goes.
Oslo will give New York and London a road map if they want to go car free. In Norway, the plan includes at least 60 kilometer of new bike roads. They will pay more for the bus and subway, too Car free cities can happen only if the infrastructure is good there And that means more bike roads, sidewalks, buses and subways.
