Berlin residents may vote on a car-free city plan as activists gather signatures for a referendum

Berlin activists are pushing for a referendum on a plan to make the city largely car-free, facing strong opposition. The proposal aims to significantly restrict car traffic within the city's ring rail line, allowing only twelve driving days per year for residents, with exceptions for essential services. This initiative, supported by legal and environmental experts, seeks to reduce pollution and accidents, while opponents cite concerns about economic impact and traffic displacement.
