PEDESTRIANISATION/CYCLES PATHS.

PEDESTRIANISATION

One of the most important issues for the future generation is looking for healthy methods in order to change the current situation of cities about pollution, safe, traffic accidents, etc.

In my opinion, it would be a good solution to improve pedestrianisation process and for this reason I am going to outline the means that I propose:

First of all, vehicle access to a street should be restricted or, at least to establish special areas for exclusive use of pedestrians. Nowadays there is a real problem in developing cities due to abuse of cars because of fact politicians want to maintain traditional spaces without limiting the use of vehicles. In my opinion, they should forbid the use of automobiles in the center of cities or at least only for public transportation and emergency vehicles.

Another solution to improve this activity would be recovering traditional and rural paths for pedestrians. For instance, it would be necessary to establish the ways used before inventing automobiles. Furthermore, this is a healthy and environmentally friendly solution to solve the problem of heavy traffic, air pollution and traffic accidents.

CYCLE PATHS

Another way to achieve health and environmentally friendly society is developing the use of bicycles in the cities.

We can improve this activity taking different measures:

First of all it would be necessary to establish a network of cycle tracks in urban areas as free routes implemented with strong rules of protection for cyclists. In addition to that, these tracks should be signalized in order to be safer.

These measures will be complemented with a special campaign of public subsidies for buying new cycles and promoting activities in schools about its uses. The objective will be to expand the number of commuters cycling to work, leisure riders out on a weekend ride and school children making safe journeys to school.
