    In Japan is common for a main street in a shopping district to be closed for vehicular traffic on Weekends.

    However it’s pretty much only the main street that gets closed.

    Japanese law also puts more responsibility for the driver of the bigger vehicle to avoid an accident as well. So streets where vehicular traffic are allowed are somewhat chill as well.

      When I was in Germany, given years and years ago, most towns bigger than a village had a pedestrian only shopping area. Full time no cars.
