I was referring to the large ring-boulevard (I guess you can call it) which surrounds the inner city and have a diameter of about 10-12 kilometers. Banning all private cars from small streets inside of that area would do a lot more good than harm. It would also mean that buses (since there would be no parked cars anymore) could use the small streets as alternate routes without getting stuck in traffic.
