The Haltestraat is best known as an entertainment street with restaurants and bars. Now that the street will be car-free in the evenings this summer, there will be more terrace space for this catering industry. You can then eat out or have a drink in peace without traffic constantly driving past. This creates a quieter street scene, more space for pedestrians and makes it extra cozy. Instead of looking at cars, you can people watch, because it really becomes a street for strolling.
