List of car-free places

List of car-free places

This is a list of noteworthy car-free areas. To be included, areas should meet at least one of the following criteria:
* They are unusual for their country or region
* They make up a sizeable fraction of a city, town, or island

For example, Freiburg's car free district is included because it is of significant size even for Germany; Leipzig's is not since it is merely average and is a small part of the city. However, Portland, Oregon's are included since car free areas of any size are unusual in North America. Good Public Transport connections, while a good thing, do not in of themselves constitute a car free area.

Color-coding is used as follows:

Belgium

France

Greece

The Netherlands

pain

UK and Channel Islands

Mexico

United States

With a few notable exceptions, most US cities have only relatively small car free zones.

Chile

Middle East

Australia
