Leave city because:too polluted,
too much cars,not safe.
Commute by car because:no alternative transport,
its a habit & prestige,developed road infrastructure.
Endless loop
Curing car traffic problems by adding car lanesis like curing obesity with loosening your belt.
- Lewis Mumford
Solutions arecomplex multiple long-term actions that look beyond today's demand
- 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;...

Riga has favourable conditions for cycling
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.
Growing cycling in cities is inevitable
The sooner we will aknowledge it as
part of mobilitythe faster we will get a livable city
