So on national car-free day in Belgium, do alot of towns/cities successfully kick out car driving in most neighbourhoods on that day? Ok, I have visions of empty highways. (If that happened, it would like either a miracle or a disaster occurred.)
yep, but believe me the streets are crowded with bikes of all sorts. It's really great. There used to be carfree sundays back in the seventies because of economical reasons. Now it's just for fun. Cities like Gent are partly car free all year round.
