There are serious movements calling for the elimination or heavy restriction of automobiles in places with cyclists and pedestrians.

Paris' "School Streets" are an effective and widely written about implementation, but most modern cities have some concept of car-free street and a few examples, even if it's not widespread.

If you've ever spent time in a city area that has these car bans/restrictions in place. It's fantastic.
