Switzerland voted on whether to reduce motorized road traffic by half within ten years. Supporters argued this would improve the environment, public health, and quality of life while encouraging public transport. Opponents argued the target was unrealistic and would harm the economy and personal mobility. Voters rejected the proposal by a large margin.
