Citizens for a nicer, healthier and more efficient Brussels without road victims
The city cannot prevent #transit traffic. Because people's mobility is the lifeblood of the city's arteries. But it can ensure that this traffic is again free of major nuisances, pollution and road casualties.

It's high time we create larger, more peaceful neighborhoods throughout Brussels, not just in select streets on the outskirts of the Region. Every part of our city should be a great place to live !

Neighbourhoods closer to the centre of Brussels bear a lot of car traffic. The car is still king here.
Here too, calming neighbourhoods on a sufficiently large scale can encourage #modalshift and make alternatives the logical choice.

But in low-traffic neighbourhoods, transit passes through neighbouring streets. Reason why mobility has to be organised on a broader scale.
To encourage a modal shift towards walking, cycling and public transport.

More recently, modal filters have been installed across Brussels to prevent through car traffic.
The map clearly shows how the filters make it possible to create entire neighbourhoods where car traffic is local.

Since the middle of the 20th century, urban planners have been trying to design streets with mainly local car traffic.
So calming our streets... is far from being a fad of recent years.

Many streets outside the #Brussels 2nd ring road are planned to be dead-end or horseshoe-shaped, so that only local motorists will use them.

Environ 80 cyclistes 🚴♀️🚴🏾♂️ se sont mobilisés pour demander plus de sécurité routière à Saint-Gilles et Forest. Depuis des années, les deux communes et la région parlent d'aménagements. Mais sur le terrain rien ne se concrétise. Le politique doit maintenant délivrer!!!
