You could be right, but then again, someone probably said the same thing about Knez Mihailova street before
How it looks when that street gets closed for traffic...
And on an ordinary day...
I do not know what to say, even in Timisoara has closed a boulevard wide enough, but a very small portion. Even so, it disrupt auto traffic - http://wikimapia.org/#lat=45.7526201...arch=TIMISOARA - Victoria Square
Don`t get me wrong, I am for the pedestrian streets, but we have to keep account of cars
