Open streets

Open streets refer to designated days when certain roads in urban areas are temporarily closed to motor vehicles, allowing people to walk, bike, skate, or engage in recreational activities. This initiative encourages community interaction, promotes active transportation, and showcases public spaces as vibrant areas for social gathering. Open streets aim to enhance awareness about the benefits of reduced car use, improve air quality, and foster a healthier lifestyle by providing a safe environment for physical activities. Local municipalities often organize events, activities, and resources during these days to attract participation and strengthen community ties.
