I don’t think any proponents of this would have any issue with allowing disabled people access (probably including disability caused by aging).

A ban on vehicles could be restraining even to those with a special exemption because the infrastructure will adjust for the ban. What use is a car when the place you need to get is only accessible by bike lanes and sidewalks?

Lots of places use small vehicles like golf-carts in that situation: hotels, nursing homes, walking communities, etc.
