The idea of red zones seems interesting but there are doubts about how this measure will be implemented. Let's hope it is not just a way to scare people without actually solving the crime problem.
It is a measure that could help improve safety, but I hope it will be implemented effectively. Citizens need to feel safe on their streets and not just with temporary measures.
