pedestrian plaza
Walking-only public space
A pedestrian plaza is a public space in an urban area closed to vehicle traffic and designed for walking, gathering, and outdoor activities.
Cities convert streets or intersections into pedestrian plazas to create room for benches, tables, plantings, and foot traffic: Times Square's pedestrian plazas transformed the area.
The term emphasizes both the exclusion of cars and the social function of the space.
