Also, here is the full, translated text of the article which OP's link references:
>Cars have been turned into mortal weapons. They have been easy to steal and then nothing has been able to stop their progress.
>In Nice, Berlin, Jerusalem, London and Stockholm, they have been used as effective killers for terrorists who wanted to kill many people.
>In order to protect people in the future, cars simply have to be removed from assembly points and city cores. It is not fair that a large truck can be driven right onto Stockholm's most popular walking street on a Friday afternoon just before Easter. Politicians have been good at protecting themselves, but now they must also see the citizens' needs for safe environments.
Right on Västerlånggatan
>It has been fourteen years since a man drove right into Västerlånggatan in the Old Town. He killed a woman and injured another 18 people. There were several reasons to protect the medieval city center, but security in the narrow alleys should have been a heavy argument. It is actually remarkable that car traffic can still roll through the Old Town.
>Stockholm is an international city, a tourist city with 13.5 million guest nights last year. Of the four people killed on Drottninggatan were three visitors, a woman from Belgium, a woman from Uddevalla and a British man. Shopping street is a popular destination for our visitors and should of course be a safe environment. Many tourists continue the street down to the Old Town, but it is really only around Rosenbad and Parliament House. There is a stop for unwelcome cars that can also be folded down if any important transport has to be carried out. The technology is thus, but it's not for everyone.
The need for calm environments
>Most of the costs are available for taxi and taxi service. In addition, deliveries to shops and restaurants can be controlled at times when fewer people are out walking in the streets.
>Stockholm's traffic planning has always been about flows. Motorists should drive in a steady stream and nothing will stop them. Now, fast bicycle lanes are also being built so that cyclists can also flow through the city.
>Rarely talking about the need for calm environments. About parks and friendly squares that welcome our visitors and where children can move without danger to their lives.
>Justice Minister Morgan Johansson believes it is difficult to protect people in an open society. But motorists are allowed to drive anywhere, but not transparency. The cars have dominated our cities for decades, now it's the people who need space. Now it's motorism that has to be regulated.
