Like I said yesterday, I love cities that are not crowded. Part of why Verona is so nice and calm is Italy's policy about cars in the city core. You see, there are certain traffic zones where going through in a car without a permit will give you a fine. Love it or hate it, it has the wonderful effect of calmer city centers. It's lovely to be able to walk around without having to watch out for cars, and the almost nonexistent traffic means people can walk anywhere they please - so there's a lot more space for pedestrians! At the right place, this is a great idea, and I would welcome a solution like that in some places in Sweden, provided that traffic doesn't get clogged up at other places as a consequence of course - that's what would happen in my hometown, our city has grown too fast for its road network. Anyway, it seemed to work really well in Italy. Just don't go there without doing a bit of research about this first. You don't want to get a fine if you can avoid it.
