Car-free day Car-free day

Kristiansand carries out a Car-Free Day 2007 and closes off one or more streets to traffic, and opens it to pedestrians, cyclists and public transport.

Zone opened to residents on Car-Free Day:
Today there is a street crossing the square in town. This street will be closed during the "in town whithout my car" event, and the activities during the day will claim the "street for people". Hopefully this is soon to be a permanent measure.
