Promoting Decongestion and Reducing Pollution On City Streets
Anyone who’s ever circled around a club, restaurant, or even a friend’s house looking for parking knows that spots are as scarce as a four-leafed clover on a grassy hill. This only stands to reason, as the proliferation of automobiles has increased exponentially over the decades, to the point where most families have at least two cars, if not more. When you factor in an equally exponentially growing population, it only makes sense that municipalities in North America and the world over are actively looking to promote automobile decongestion and reduce overall vehicle pollution. This will not only free up valuable road space in cities across North America, but wil alsol help combat climate change to a substantial degree.
Making Space
Making space for more pedestrians, cyclists, and general non-automotive travelers is the general aim of municipalities looking to promote automotive decongestion and reduce pollution within their city limits. After all, reducing the number of parked and moving cars in the city only increases the space people can traverse on foot. This promotes not only personal health and well-being, but ignificantly reduces the amount of carbon emissions released into the atmosphere.
One needs only look at restaurant terraces to see this phenomenon at work. By extending their floor spaces into the sidewalks and streets during peak times during the summer (and late spring/early fall), restaurants eat up automobile parking spaces. Although this may vex motorists looking for tasty food and a good time to no end, it defintely promotes green initiatives.
Additionally, since parking spots in cities where these practices are beginning to be enforced may be sparse, building parking complexes within the city is both logical and ecological. This way, not only are motorists satisfied, but their vehicles don’t take up valuable road space for those wishing to backfoot through the urban jungle!
Going Green
Reducing the number of parking spaces within city limits also discourages the number of inhabitants willing to use their vehicles to travel for personal or work-related purposes. This stands to reason, as people are less willing to drive if they know that their destination has limited to zero parking.
This phenomenon helps reduce automobile congestion on city roads by inspiring people to leave their cars at home, Additionally, it boosts public transit and promotes the use of bicycles to get from Point A to Point Z. Cutting parking spots is therefore a proven way to promote decongestion and reduce pollution within city limits!
Promote Decongestion and Reduce Pollution by Scrapping Your Car
There’s no better way to promote automobile decongestion and reduce pollution than scrapping an old or non-functioning car. Not only will this free up space in front of your home, in your driveway, or in your garage, it will help the environment by providing recyclable materials to create new automobiles as well well as many more other items!
