A growing movement in urban planning advocates for prioritizing cyclists and pedestrians over motor vehicles to improve safety, reduce congestion, and promote sustainable transportation. Critics argue that current infrastructure disproportionately favors cars, leading to hazards for vulnerable road users and environmental harm. Proposals include expanding bike lanes, pedestrian zones, and traffic-calming measures to reshape city streets. The debate highlights tensions between accessibility, public health, and the role of private vehicles in modern urban life.
"Bikes and pedestrians should take precedence in this city over vehicles."
