The majority of the capital's traffic is provided by car drivers. But they come, go, smell and just have trouble. Wake up, put their lives in hell!
In the middle of May, the news came that, according to the mayor, "the city skyline is very ugly" is the Nyugati Square overpass, so it is likely to be demolished. The well-established car overpass has been working for decades, helping to overcome this junction as quickly as possible. The idea is not new, for some reason this overpass is on the way, but it has been rescued for a long time by the experts not seeing the retention of tramline 6 on the level crossing.
For a time they thought it would only be expensive to build an underpass, but the situation was reassessed for some time. So it looks like the overpass vanishes and the Ferdinand Bridge won't go long. But why are enemies at all non-level crossings in Budapest? Why should every passenger cross one another's level?
Most underpasses and overpasses were designed and built around the 70s and 80s. When these junctions were built, even the car traffic was a priority, trying to create a traffic order to get the wagons, trucks to get through the city as easily and quickly as possible.
The situation has changed a lot nowadays, the car and the car have become more enemies, the trend is getting drivers to be bad and not coming into the big downtown, transformed into a happy pedestrian street. Paid parking zones creep unstoppably towards the city border, of course P + R parking is not built where commuters would prefer to leave the car, but rather make these areas pay. Many times, people living there still cling to it. So, instead of riding a car, you have to go by bike or, despite all the legitimate criticism, you can still use public transport at European level.
