I don't know if it has been talked about but they are encouraging cars to stay out of the Centrum area . They now have guys directing traffic . I think this is a good idea my friend explained they are trying to get people to use the transportation system , walk or bike . They want to keep the taxi's and tourists that do not know where they are going to just jam traffic up . In early August it was bad and the traffic directors were taking a lot of flak .
And I must confess the transportation system is really good in amsterdam. Most times I am there I stay outside of the centre in a camping place (Camping, Zeegarten, Zuider Ijdick) and go via tram into the city. Takes me around 15-20 Minutes.

Anyone who tries to drive through De Wallen, especially on the weekend, and especially at night is a fucking moron.
Depends why he ended up there. I recall 18 years ago I was also stuck in some small street because my navigation system brought me there. But yeah tehre sure are enough dumbasses who thing it a wonderful idea to drive past the windows.
