When in Rome…

Filed Under Uncategorized 

I was fortunate to travel in Italy a few weeks ago, and I was really impressed with how well pedestrians, bicycles, buses, and cars all managed to share the road.

In the historic center of Florence, many streets were so narrow, pedestrians just hopped off the sidewalk and took over the street until a bus, van or car absolutely had to get through.

In many medieval towns, cars were banned from the city centers (which is extremely fortunate because I think they would have gotten stuck on the narrow streets). 

And of course in Venice, the canals serve as arterials and there are no cars at all.
