How it works in Amsterdam, for example, is that you can still drive most places, however:

1. The motor vehicle route is extremely indirect, so walking is typically quicker

2. There is no free parking

3. Store loading happens only at certain times

4. There are shortcuts that emergency services can unlock with special keys

As an addendum to 4., I believe emergency service vehicles are also allowed to use the tram tracks.
