Kyiv’s laissez faire attitude toward traffic control and parking does not charm one visitor, Jón Gnarr, former mayor of Reykjavik, Iceland. “I’ve been in Kyiv for less than a day, but it seems to me that there is an overabundance of personal cars” he tells NV. “You are too American in this respect. Sooner or later it threatens the city with collapse. I tried to take a little walk, but because of the large number of cars, it’s not very comfortable.”
