text: Limiting car usage could benefit people in many ways. The Vauban suburban community lives without therir cars and only use them when nessesary or if they have the permit to use them. A mother, Heidrun Walter says, "When i had a car i was allways tense. I'm muchhappier this way." she was happy with the way her life was going without a vehicle it wasnt as stressful to her. In "German Suburb, Life Goes On Without Cars", it says "Having less vehicles made the suburbs more accessible to public transportation" this makes everything they build walking distance and everything is closer together, they dont have to use major highways so they can get to a store. It also says, "many suburbs are starting to resemble Vauban, closer together and have less car owners in the developing world" this kind of example is leading the world to use less vehicles which would mean less pollutions. Another advantage of limiting car usage would be more people are getiing together and having more social ineractions. In the exerpt from "Paris bans driving due to smog" it says, "The congestion was down 60 percent in the capitol of France." this means the roads weren't as backed up and busy. Their is beginning to be a change in the world as less people use their automotives. When Bogota, Columbia did the Day Without Cars the people would walk where they need to get or rode their bicycle. Carlos Arturo Plaza rode his bicycle and said "Its a good opportunity to take away stress and lower air pollution." people like being able to help their economy. In "The End of Car Culture" it says, "it will have beneficial implications for carbon emmisions and the environment, since transportation is the second largest source of America's emissions" which means the economy will be in a better place.
