Street with little traffic.
خلفية ثقافية
Silence is considered a sign of comfort and trust between people. A 'hiljainen katu' is the urban version of the quiet forest Finns love. Urban planning in the Nordics often creates 'pockets' of quiet streets by limiting through-traffic in residential areas. In many cultures, a quiet street might be seen as dangerous or deserted, but in Finland, it is almost exclusively a sign of high quality of life.
