Picnic on the Road on Car Free Day in Vienna
On the „car-free day“ that is celebrated throughout the EU, several organisations are transforming the important traffic route „Burgring“ in Vienna into a picnic and recreation area. This route that is usually very frequented and often place of speeding as well as traffic jams, is vitalised in a creative and climate-friendly way. Someone has drawn the symbol of a bike with chalk on the street and there are feet visible passing it.
In original language:
Rasen am Ring Autofreier Tag Wien
Mehrere Organisationen verwandeln den Wiener Burgring in eine grüne Picknick-Wiese. Mit dieser Aktion soll am EU-weiten "Autofreien Tag" diese besonders stark frequentierte "Raser- und Staustrecke" zwischen 14 und 18 Uhr auf kreative und klimafreundliche Weise belebt werden.
Die VeranstalterInnen verknüpfen mit dem Rasenteppich am Ring gemeinsame Forderungen nach einer zukunftsweisenden Verkehrspolitik für Wien, die den Umweltverbund (FußgängerInnen, RadfahrerInnen und öffentliche Verkehrsmittel) klar bevorzugt und den motorisierten Individualverkehr auf ein vernünftiges Maß reduziert. Ein diesbezügliches Maßnahmenpaket sollte vor allem angemessenen Raum für RadfahrerInnen und FußgängerInnen schaffen, indem die Parkraumbewirtschaftung ausgeweitet, Citymaut und autofreie Zonen eingeführt und ein verkehrspolitischer Paradigmenwechsel im Zeichen von Klimaschutz und Lebensqualität ermöglicht wird.

Picnic on the Road on Car Free Day in Vienna
On the „car-free day“ that is celebrated throughout the EU, several organisations are transforming the important traffic route „Burgring“ in Vienna into a picnic and recreation area. This road that is usually very frequented and often place of speeding as well as traffic jams, is vitalised in a creative and climate-friendly way. The platform for alternative measures in traffic politics wants to show how nice a car-free city would be and asks to make the City of Vienna more people-friendly instead of clearly favouring motorised traffic in its politics.
The asphalt is covered up with real grass, deck chairs are put out, there is food, drinks and music and people who pass by are invited to enjoy the space that is re-conquered from traffic for a limited time.
