A recent proposal to introduce stricter traffic control in Budapest has been designed to “reduce the number of fatal accidents to nil in the long run”, Mayor Gergely Karácsony said in a Facebook entry on Wednesday.

Reacting to critical remarks concerning the proposal, Karácsony said that

speed limits would not be lowered everywhere in the city, noting that a large part of Budapest is in “zones of reduced traffic” already.

He added that the aim was to further increase those zones.

The city needs liveable spaces rather than narrow streets in which “pedestrians are trying to bypass cars with drivers irritated by slow traffic”, Karácsony said.

He noted his pledge to make the city greener and cleaner,

and said it was necessary to develop public transport, as well as facilities both for cyclists and pedestrians.

    As the statistics show, Hungarian drivers are pretty terrible (64 fatal deaths per million of the population compared to the UK’s 28). The main problems that I have observed are that a) hardly anybody seems to use their indicators, turning or pulling out of lane with scant disregard for other road users and pedestrians alike; b) tailgating which is very dangerous and c) speeding. The Mayor would do well to look at Barcelona where large scale pedestrianisation or semi pedestrianisation has taken place to improve the environment.
