@EUCommission Please try this tiny measure to boost cycling a lot: I call it "a perfect 10 before school": Ten minutes before school starts no cars allowed near schools. This untangles a lot of traffic. Trades pollution and other danger for social interaction and health. Limits traffic bottlenecks.
