Urban areas shouldn’t convert more roads into car-free zones, prioritising pedestrians and cyclists. Why? Haven’t you considered the cons if we did? Think about it. If we closed off roads, there would be traffic jams on another road. If we closed off roads it would also affect businesses. If we close off roads it will make delivery people’s lives worse. You may not be convinced but do you really want to make life harder than it is now?
First, traffic jams. Imagine being stuck in the same place on a road and just waiting till the traffic starts to move. Waiting for an eternity until the cars in front finally move a singular centimetre. I think we can all agree that traffic jams are annoying. They are brain numbing and they destroy your sanity. Closing off roads for pedestrians and cyclists will only change one fact. Even more traffic. No one wants more traffic. More traffic means more going crazy. Going crazy means losing your sanity. Losing your sanity means throwing a tantrum. No one wants to be stuck in a car with a screaming driver so do not close the roads.
Second, affecting businesses. Imagine having an amazing business on a busy road. Perfect for making money until some people come and close the road. Your money making days are now gone. You are drowning in debt. Just because some people came and fenced off the road. One second ago you were flooding your house with money and now you are flooding your house with unpaid debt. Everyone hates debt so why make other people have debt?
Last, delivery people. Delivery people need to get to the place on time to deliver something. If you close roads, they have to take another route that would most likely be longer and the thought of being on time is your top priority so you go supersonic speed and get there on time while creating a million accidents on the way. That is not worth it. In addition, not fencing off roads in urban areas will make these hard working people’s lives easier and less stressful.
In conclusion, urban areas shouldn’t convert more roads into car-free zones, prioritising pedestrians and cyclists. If you really want to make people’s lives happier and easier than ever before, do not convert roads into pedestrian and cyclist zones. Remember never ever to convert roads into no cars zones.

Urban areas should absolutely convert more roads into car free zones, prioritising pedestrians and cyclists. Have you not thought about all of the benefits it can bring? This change can benefit us in many ways, such as less air pollution, a healthier generation and overall a more happy community.
Firstly, replacing roads into car free zones can reduce air pollution rates. Reducing these harmful gases can clean the air we breathe, therefore boosting our health. According to the Institution of Pollution, when countries such as USA implemented these car free zones, carbon emission rates were reduced by at least 34%, also positively affecting the environment. The study also showed that the ozone layer was particularly secure in those areas. There is no doubt that converting roads into car free zones can have a beneficial impact on both the environment and health.
Next, this change can boost the health of our current generation. Haven’t we all seen the coughing fits in hospitals, the sickening lurch in our stomachs when we hear the sound of young children suffering from the gas and emissions, the children clutching their inhaler with white knuckles, their hearts speeding up just in that moment. This is absolutely unacceptable, to allow our children to live in constant fear, seeing their friends go down and wondering if they will be next. 7 year-old Mark claimed that after this change was implemented near his school and house, he could walk freely with his friends, their inhalers in their bag, not tightly clutched in their hand. This is a clear sign of feeling safe and protected, not believing that you’ll need your inhaler at a moment’s use.In order to justify our impulsive actions that meant our children were never able to let go of this fear, we must create more car free zones, allowing the next generation to live like Mar, without fear or apprehension when walking outside and crossing streets.
Finally, don’t you want a happier community, one that doesn’t need to recede back into their shell like a terrified turtle, one that can truly emerge forth and interact with each other? This vision is centimetres away from becoming a blissful reality, a reality we can all thrive in. However, the block that prevents the fantasy from wavering into reality is the fact that the roads are still roads, and very few of them are car free zones. This is an easy change, however. It can very easily be converted from ‘road’ into ‘car free zone’. This little change can save hundreds of lives, and create more cooperative communities overall. It is without a doubt that I state that car free zones are to be made from roads.
To summarise, converting roads into car free zones will significantly reduce air pollution, help boost the health of our children and create a more united society. This change will be simple to implement, and will help our daily lives in ways we couldn’t even begin to imagine.

Why should elderly people have to walk miles to get to the bus stop because of car free zones? Why should we bare seeing people hunched over with heavy groceries because of car free zones? How would you just ignore the fact that our roads are jammed because of car free zones? Urban areas had prioritized more car free zones which are supposed to help people. However, on the other hand, it impacts our communities. This is because people have to work a long way to the bus stops, it is inconvenient and it causes serious traffic on the roads. I fervently believe that we could change this crisis to not have car free zones in urban areas.
To begin with, people are forced to walk several miles to the bus station. Carrying a whole day of work and school burdens when the restriction is set on buses from car free zones. People with disabilities are manifested by the fact that they have to walk a long way from the bus station. People endure through rains and cyclones to walk home when car free zones limit where you can go. It is not merely about walking home, it is also about how more difficult it is when more car free zones are found everyone in our communities. When people use to step outside there house in the pouring rain into their cars with no drops of water on their head. Now all we see is people running away in the frosty rain to get to their car out of the car free zone. It is evident that there shouldn’t be more car free zones.
Equally imperative, more car free zones is significantly inconvenient. Studies has shown that with myriads of car free zones, people spend 35 minutes weekly walking to their cars. Studies also convey that it takes at least 30 hours each year to cars and buses when these time could be spend on more sleep, work time and do other things. More than a whole day in a year. Critics often argue that it is a daily activity and exercise going to work. Their claim flaws because it is not just exercise, it is a disruption to sleep and other crucial activities. People carry heavy grocery bags back home for 5 minutes or more whilst their fingers blister from bags. All because of car free zones. Both children, from work and elderly people cripple from this issue that the community has decided to be advantageous to society. Do you want car free zones to be everywhere in urban areas resulting it to be inconvenient and disturbing the society?
Furthermore, more car free zones causes severe traffic. Our streets jammed with honks and beeps from frustrated cars having to drive around the car free zones. Allowing only one path for all the cars to drive through. This disturbed the roads, people going to work and school. Resident Mrs Smith has stated, ‘I use Sunshine Road every single day. Whether if it is dropping off my two kids at two different schools, getting the groceries, visiting relatives and getting to work. I suffer in anxiety of traffic on this road that I always use. Traffic has changed since I came here, certainly connected to the car free zone campaign. I am a resident for 9 years now, in this community, and traffic has skyrocketed with car free areas everywhere.’ Traffic jams evidently became more often, almost daily, caused by car free zones. Therefore, there should not be any car free zones around the community.
In conclusion, there should not be more car free zones in urban areas because it would be far away from bus stations, is inconvenient and causes traffic on our roads. We need to do something about the problem impacted by car free zones. It is time for action. It is time for change. It is time to make a difference.
