A part of Ghent city centre is pedestrian area: an area of some 35 hectares/86 acres. A parking route, or P-route, has been introduced to pick up the traffic towards the city centre on the ring road and take it to a car park in the immediate proximity of the P-route, thus making Ghent both accessible and pleasant to live in.
