In many smaller Danish towns you _can_ drive on top the shopping streets, but there'll be big signs telling you that it's only allowed for "service/special vehicles".

If you get caught there you'll probably get a nice fine. And you can be sure all the pedestrians will make you drive slow.

Finally, the road usually has tiles so you don't get in there by accident, nor would you want to.

There were plenty of them driving, slowly, and loudly beeping. Enough so it was simply impossible to walk without constantly having to move over for them.

It didn't really work as a pedestrian mall. I've been in other European cities where it did work, i.e. no vehicles.

Where in Denmark was that? I don't see any loudly beeping delivery cars in Copenhagen.

It was about 10 years ago. I don't remember just where it was.
