car-free
No vehicles allowed
Car-free describes places or lifestyles without automobiles.
A car-free zone prohibits vehicle traffic, typically in urban centers to create pedestrian-friendly spaces.
A car-free lifestyle means choosing not to own a car, relying instead on walking, cycling, or public transit: We've been car-free for three years now.
