In Vienna the central pedestrian tourist/shopping streets are open for deliveries until 10:00 or 11:00 in the morning, so if you go there at those times, it's quite chaotic. But then all the vehicles are gone for the rest of the day.

These days most shopping streets also tends to be closed from traffic for security reasons. So it is probably mostly an organizational issue.

Well, it's a fact of life, you need those vehicles even when people are not driving (I see a similar situation on the pedestrianized street in my city)
However, everytime I go there, the street is still full with cars: delivery trucks that bring the retail goods to the stores (which are not easily accessible otherwise), construction trucks for the apparently constant repairs they're doing on the road, ambulances, etc. Even when most of them are not driving you're still constantly surrounded by (mostly big) vehicles.
