Car is the main means of transportation


Endless loop Leave city because: too polluted, too much cars, not safe.

privacy well-being nature

Commute by car because: no alternative transport, its a habit & prestige, developed road infrastructure.

- priority for pedestrians; - 30 km/h speed limit; - priority for public transport in intersections; - public transport lanes; - park & ride; - limitation of car transit; - parking policy in city center (delivery zones, parking facilities for locals); - an hour ticket for public transport; - multimodal public transport system; - cycling; - bypass car roads; - congestion carge; ...

Cycling is not a goal in itself but rather a highly prioritised political tool for creating a more liveable city. Ayfer Baykal Head of Copenhagen Planning dept.
