pedestrian streets
Walkers-only thoroughfares downtown
Pedestrian streets are roadways closed to motor vehicle traffic and reserved for people on foot, often featuring benches, outdoor dining, and public art.
Cities designate these car-free zones in shopping districts, historic centers, or entertainment areas to encourage walking, reduce pollution, and create more livable urban spaces.
The city converted several downtown blocks into pedestrian streets lined with cafés and boutiques.
Also called pedestrian zones or pedestrianized streets.
