Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) - Today, 22 September, will be World Car Free Day. Many countries of the world, including Uzbekistan, take part in the action. The aim of the action is to demonstrate how the streets of cities without traffic jams could look like, and how useful it would be to move on foot or by bicycle.
The Ministry of Tourism and Sports announces a competition to mark 22 September - World Car Free Day! The competition is open to media, bloggers and all citizens.
World Car Free Day is held annually in many countries around the world on 22 September. This is a symbolic action of the international level, the main goal of which is to remind the society of the dangers of excessive motorization for nature and humans, as well as to provide possible alternatives to this vehicle.
For the first time, a Car-Free Day was held in 1973 in Switzerland, when the country’s authorities urged citizens to give up cars for four days in connection with the fuel crisis. Separate actions of abandoning cars in different European countries continued for the next two and a half decades - until 1997, when Great Britain held the first nationwide action. In 1998, France joined it.
