    That is bullshit. In pretty much all German cities the central shopping mile is closed off to private vehicles. Only delivery services and obviously police/ambulances are allowed to enter during shopping times. It works. Had always worked. Stop making shit up to prop up your own shitty arguments.

      In the English town nearest me, all shops have delivery bays at the rear. Yet still they are allowed delivery access on the pedestrianised street in front of their shop, and a few do still use it which is rather annoying. I avoid those businesses because I think they’re selfish to bathe shoppers in fumes and brake dust.

        Do they have the means to deliver from the rear? I would think that it’s more convenient for the business too if they could do that.

          In depends what you mean by the means. They all have rear doors and either stock room doors or shop entrances back there. Some might have to repair their rear doorbells and some might have to instruct their suppliers to deliver to the rear.
