Traffic-free Mittelstrasse

The Mittelstrasse is a street in the Länggass district of Bern. It is described as an important and lively street and the area and on regular days is used for traffic at a reduced pace of 20km/h (Regionews,2018). As part of the “traffic-free Mittelstrasse” project a section of the street is temporarily closed and convert it into a pedestrian-only zone. By closing the street on selected summer evenings, it was transformed into a public space that encourages activities such as walking, playing and social interaction.
