Hi Johannes, my concern with your reasoning is the implication that any linguistic term is or shall be judged on the number of Google hits it scores. I assume that Martina made her selection based on her judgement of which term was most suitable for this translation and not on Google volume. Regards, kjp.

Bury St Edmunds: pioneering the historic core zone approach
http://www.rudi.net/books/18049

The Historic Core Zones project was an initiative from the English Historic Towns Forum. It investigated how traffic management schemes could be designed to suit areas with special historic character.
:
It involved: defining a threshold at an entrance to the core zone; introducing a 20 mph zone with minimum traffic calming measures; rationalising road signs; HGV weight restrictions; more space for pedestrians.
