    Poll Results: A Traffic Jam of Opinions

    After a two-day poll asking, “Should cars be banned from central Gdańsk?”, our voters have spoken—or rather, they’ve signalled. The options were clear: “Yes, ban them,” “No, keep cars,” and the wily compromise, “Only on weekends.”

    The verdict? A cheeky 58.3% opted to give the cars the boot entirely. Perhaps they envision cobbled streets free of honking and fumes, where cyclists and pedestrians reign supreme. Meanwhile, a (8.3%) bravely defended the right to keep cars buzzing through central Gdańsk, possibly clinging to their cherished parking spot or morning dash to the bakery.

    Not to be overlooked, a solid 33.3% voted for the weekend ban—striking a balance between car-free serenity on days off and weekday convenience. It seems some voters dream of sipping coffee in a carless plaza come Saturday, but still want their weekday commute to remain less of a trek.
