Ursula von der Leyen, Mette Frederiksen and all the Danish & EU bigwigs are in Aarhus today for the EU presidency handover ceremony & mid-city street party. The media keeps interviewing irate car drivers about closed roads. I wish they'd ask me and everyone else who walks & cycles around. The roads aren't closed. Only to cars. The rest of us are getting around more easily and quickly. No red lights making 20 people stop so 1 car can pass. Sauntering on roads. Moving in direct human desire lines.

Da es einen Beutel hat, muss es weiblich sein. Wenn es nicht trans ist, schlage ich "Ruth" vor. Kängu, Ruth.

(Don't panic. There is still access for buses and disability transport. And far more room and much calmer conditions for everyone with mobility aids, pushing prams, driving mobility scooters, using wheelchairs etc.)

Jean-Baptiste "JBQ" Quéru 6d ago

@CiaraNi How many types of traffic can we restrict and immediately see an improvement in the conditions for all other types?

Wait, don't answer that. The answer will be depressing.

@jbqueru That's a great point. The absolute efficiency of it - remove one single type of traffic (private car driving when not essential due to disability) and literally every other form of transport and every other way of moving through our public space is improved.

Jean-Baptiste "JBQ" Quéru 6d ago

@CiaraNi Being more serious now, I think that we can combine two observations:
-removing unnecessary cars immediately makes enough space for everything else.
-any attempt at giving more space to anything that's not cars is immediately perceived as a war on cars.

Those two together show how grossly inefficient cars really are in cities: they take as much space as everything combined, and at the time that's not even enough for cars to work efficiently.

Grey Pilgrim 3d ago

@jbqueru @CiaraNi Cars will never be efficient - as long as privately owned and not shared - since they sit there idly taking up space most of the time.
Add that they take up much more space for one or two persons to travel than necessary, and on average getting bigger each generation of cars.

@EregLoch @jbqueru All correct

Kate McDonald 6d ago

@CiaraNi this sounds like exactly what I’ve wanted city centres to be like for years

@musiciankate We are very lucky here. The council is very hands-on and imaginative about making the city people-friendly and designed for humans to live in and move around in (rather than cars)

UkeleleEric 6d ago

@CiaraNi Yeah, roads are generally not closed, just closed to motor traffic. But most politicians, officials and journalists are car-drivers.

@UkeleleEric I would think a fair few politicians, officials and journalists here (Denmark) ride bikes and walk and use public transport as well as driving. But the kneejerk reaction is diehard: 'road closed to private cars' gets conveyed as 'road closed'.

@CiaraNi Seems like Aahus really sucks at traffic policy and planning. In contrast my home town of Darmstadt makes the carmageddon that is the annual inner city festival (Heinerfest) hell for cyclists, pedestrians and public transport users, too. In an ideal car world, when motorists suffer, everyone else has to suffer too. Don't they know that in Denmark!?

@cweickhmann Haha - I must admit that we are lucky here. The council has done great work orienting the city towards good living quality with cyclists and pedestrians prioritised.

🇺🇦🇪🇺 cweickhmann 6d ago

@CiaraNi You should feel lucky. I can even forget the narrow-mindedness of the press when it's actually working.
Here, the council doesn't even enforce existing traffic law like the ban of parking on footpaths.

@cweickhmann I hope all of our cities and towns and villages move further away from that kind of car culture and car dominance.

@CiaraNi Even in Denmark, huh? "Ideological motorists furious about being denied their God-given right to drive the desire path through our city neighborhoods" must be a very Engaging and profitable genre for the media. I too wish "locals happy the cars are gone" was competitive in the market.

@eivind Oh absolutely here too. The council is doing great work converting streets so that private cars are slowed and drivers are 'guests' who must yield to pedestrians and cyclists. Private car drivers protest and delay it every time. And every time, once the change is made, it is demonstrably better.

Eivind (like the Terrible)6d ago

@CiaraNi Right, it alway gets better. Just today I read the locals don't want the section of the inner ring road in Oslo that's temporarily closed back.

Colin Rosenthal ❤️🇮🇱❤️6d ago

@CiaraNi Frederiks Alle is closed to cyclists at Rådhusparken. So is Ringaden.

@colinrosenthal I think that's nitpicking. There are signs in some main places with stages or work areas, like Frederiks Allé here, telling you to walk your bike through. Not to turn back, road closed to you, no access (as for cars).

Colin Rosenthal ❤️🇮🇱❤️5d ago

@CiaraNi Ok, I timed my morning cycle ride, and with the diversion down Valdemarsgade and behind Musikhuset it added, er, about two minutes to my journey time. Maybe 90 seconds. So maybe it's not as bad as it seems 🙂

@CiaraNi It’s been A DREAM. Had to bike to the centre and the absence of cars made me feel so much safer.

@hemlockcookie Agreed, it was an absolute dream. Not having to be aware and on the defensive all the time in case someone loses control of the box of several thousand kilograms of metal and combustible fuel that they are driving centimetres away from you.
