During COVID-19 lockdowns, the cars were temporarily removed from this street in Utrecht to provide pedestrians in the city centre with more space. This measure proved to be such a success that it became a permanent arrangement in 2022.

Streets designed to encourage physical and social activity are a right all children should be able to enjoy; not just the Dutch. It requires prioritizing the safety of the most vulnerable; allowing them to experience the outside world on their own terms.
