Problem
Let fast through-traffic flow unchecked through residential areas, and pedestrians, children, and everyday street life are pushed into constant danger and crowded out of public space.
Solution
Divide the city into areas where local traffic is deliberately kept slow and people take priority, keeping these areas clearly separate from the fast through-traffic carried on the main routes.
