CARS IN CITY CENTRE, BANNING OF
Pros Cons
We must lower CO2 emission levels to address
global warming( chu tam den, giai quyet vd
global warming ) and cars are major
contributors. If we were to ban cars from city
centers , we would significantly reduce the
overall number of journeys taken by car and we
might well see lower car ownership overall . This
would be good for the planet. [2] Car emissions
are worse in city centers because of their
concentration. Pollution from car fumes causes
serious health problems including asthma,
especially for children who grow up living near
busy roads. The same fumes also damage
historic buildings. In some cities, the smog is so
bad it is visible.
Banning cars from city center means less
journeys by cars and car ownership overall->
lower carbon dioxide emission levels-> address
global warming
 Exhaust fumes and emissions from
cars are major contributors to
global warming and other issues,
especially the gridlock in city
centers, lasting for hours
 The concentration of cars in city
center cause respiratoryillnesses:
lung disease, asthma and damage
historical buildings
In many more economically developed countries,
road accidents are the single biggest cause of
deaths in children and teenagers. Banning cars
from city centers would slash accident rates and
save lives as many schools and houses are on
busy roads. Bus drivers do not drink and drive,
speed, or talk on their phones while driving; it is
private car drivers who cause accidents . With
the trend for more cycling, we have also seen
increased rates of cyclist fatalities that could be
prevented.
Reduce accidents rates
 Many schools and residential areas
are on busy roads -> help with the
number of fatalities on the roads.
 Also, incentivizing people to travel
by bus or cycling to commute to
work.
Emissions of CO2 must be cut , but this is not the
way to do it. Banning cars from city centres
simply displaces the traffic to the suburbs and
out of town. It possibly causes longer journeys
leading to more emissions overall. CO2 levels
should be tackled at the level of industry and
energy reduction. [2] Car emissions can be cut in
city centers without banning cars outright . This
could be done by incentivizing ( khuyen khich)
car pools or charging people to drive in the city .
These measures encourage people to make only
essential journeys and to think about fuel
efficiency without removing the liberty to drive.
Technology continues to clean up cars.
Not the effective way
 Displace the traffic to the suburbs
and out of town,-> longer journeys
->more emissions overall.
 This could be done by Incentivizing
car pools ,hybrid, electricity cars
the problems should be tackled at
the level of industry and energy
reduction.
Road safety should be a priority and speed limits
and other driving regulations should be pursued
with zero tolerance to keep accidents to a
minimum . Road safety education is also
essential in schools . With these measures, it is
not necessary to ban cars from city centers
where traffic and low speed limits keep accident
rates down.
