Times Square in NYC goes car-free!

Hello from NYC.  While I was here, the city closed Times Square to cars!  I'd like to say I had something to do with it, but that was just a coincidence.

Re: Times Square in NYC goes car-free!

That's good news. Places like Times Square should be car-free anywhere, there are still too many squares and streets that allow cars and this leads to nothing else but daily traffic jams. This places should be exclusively for pedestrians.
