Photo de stock - Prague will ban cyclists in selected pedestrian zones in the historical centre from 10:00 to 17:00 and the municipal technical road service (TSK) started placing the respective traffic signs these days, July 11, 2018. The Prague 1 Town Hall leadership pushed through the restrictions for cyclists mainly around the lower part of Wenceslas Square, Republic Square and Old Town Square. The Prague 1 district, covering the UNESCO-listed historical centre, argues that the restrictions will increase the safety of pedestrians at frequented places. The Prague 1 Council approved the plan before the last summer holiday. It was originally aimed at electric scooters that started to be used in the centre to replace the banned Segway two-wheel electric personal transporters. Now municipal officials speak directly about cyclists threatening pedestrians and say locals have regularly complained about them. (CTK Photo/Martin Sterba)
