text: Vauban, Germany has forbidden street parking, driveways, and home garages. This city is completely a "car-free" district. This has a postive affect on the families that have moved to this district. "When I had a car I was always tense. I'm much happier this way." said Heidrun Walter a resdient in the area. Germany is not the only country to take action on this act. Paris, France has enforced a driving ban to clear the air. Car usage is a huge effect of gases that is release. People were fined if they were cought driving. The streets of Paris was a car-free city and public tranportation was free of charge. Late on that week the smog cleared enough that the baning of cars was realeased.
