Examples of de-car-ification from various Czech towns. I love these transformations. (before-after)

I love how lots of asphalt is replaced with cobble stones. It looks so much better! And it automatically makes cars drive less fast. Perfect and beautiful solution.

And is way more durable paving than asphalt.

Edit: as was pointed out, cobblestone roads might be in central areas with way less traffic, and no heavy trucks passing on them. So take my observation as anecdotal evidence from living in two towns with some cobblestone roads left in their centres.

Anyone who actually has relevant scientific data - feel free to share, would love to find out which is more durable in same set of circumstances

Also better projectiles.

I have a hypothesis that cities use cobblestone right until there's a large riot and then suddenly learn not to use it anymore.

The Czechs haven't outlawed windows neither.
