Hello from Vilnius, the City already has parking zones. As a normal person its very hard to park in the City center. Here is some information: https://www.govilnius.lt/plan-your-trip/getting-around/parki...

Also, some streets are already car-free and only delivery vehicals can enter them.

After this Covid returns to normal and its safe I will go and visit Vilnius as a tourist! :)

You should take this test first: https://vilniusgspot.com/

That's it I'm going to Lithuania for vacation also. Pretty neat way to get tourists prepared...

This is the website of the day. People who created it are gods of marketing.

I can count on my fingers the number of times I've seen a website that was this well made!

My day is measurably better having come across this site.

Traffic in Vokieciu, Traku, etc streets is a shit show. I've been advocating for ages the old town needs to be shut completely. It has such an amazing potential if not for stupid cars there.

That said, Vilnius needs to improve traffic hotspots a lot. Rush hours exist everywhere, but Vilnius is noticeably bad. Bus lanes needs better isolation too (some form of Rapid Bus implementation).

Well, at least these streets have pavements, but letting cars in the Pilies street (generally a pedestrian street full of tourists) is absolutely ridiculous. Can we start a petition? :)

True that we have a lot of traffic there but also it's not that bad as in other cities I have lived in.

What I think Vilnius needs is a metro. Since you can not just create new road lanes in the old town.

How do they handle disabled residents in those zones?

Presumably with a permit.

Depending on the disability, it's somewhere a disabled person might aim to live, or avoid. No cars is great for someone blind, for example.
