The major source of air pollution in cities is cars, ban cars and improve everyone's health, it is not rocket science...

The Biggest Myth About Fixing Traffic

Transport noise is now one of the leading environmental cause of illness in Europe, second only to air pollution.

Exactly.
“I reduced the insolent crowd of carriages which cumber our streets, for this luxury of speed destroys its own aim; a pedestrian makes more headway than a hundred conveyances jammed end to end along the twists and turns of the Sacred Way.” ―Memoirs of Hadrian by Marguerite Yourcenar (1903–1987)

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities

This needs to be constantly repeated, cars don't belong in cities, we CAN build a better world without them

„Der Fahrer eines schwarzen, fünftürigen Kleinwagens mit einem Kontrollschild aus Freiburg im Breisgau/DE wollte diese Kolonne überholen und befuhr dazu das Trottoir auf der rechten Seite.“

Long-term exposure to a busy road may increase the chances of developing Parkinson's disease, though a quiet side of the house could give some protection.

Ayer llevé a mi niña a la guardería en #bici
Según íbamos a entrar, un coche entró a gran velocidad en la acera bloqueando el paso de peatones y frenó bruscamente. Mi hija se asustó mucho y se echó a llorar.
Un hombre salió del coche con un bebé de unos 8 meses en brazos y se fue corriendo a dejarlo. Le llamé la atención pero gruñó y me ignoró.
La guardería no para de decir que no se aparqué ahí, pero da igual... Sigue sucediendo y algún día habrá un susto gordo.

From 28th Oct 2019: SUVs named as second biggest cause of global emissions rise
https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/news/motoring-news/suvs-named-as-second-biggest-cause-of-global-emissions-rise/
At that time, electricity generation was the biggest GHG emitter, since then, electricity generation has majorly decarbonised, but cars are still getting bigger and emissions are still rising... Added to which, e-cars are putting a strain on electricity grids because they are also massively oversized, and so keeping the pressure to retain fossil fuelled generation...

Long live the Eurostar and TGV (Germany needs to fix their trains before I'll add the ICE to this list)
