It’s a common practice in a lot of cities in Europe and the result is that you rarely ever see a car in those areas. We call those pedestrian streets and people treat the whole street as a giant sidewalk.
Pedestrian streets don’t allow personal cars or taxis or buses at all. Only work cars
In my hometown we still call them pedestrian streets even though local residents are still allowed to drive in and out. As I said, it rarely happens anyway.
