Car-free day Car-free day

Vidin carries out a Car-Free Day 2008 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:
The zone is situated in the central part of the city leading to the municipal building. It is not a very long but relatively busy street and one that if closed would have the desired public impact and visualisation.
