Motorists' days driving through Central Park are numbered.

The city is banishing traffic from Central Park on June 27, once school is officially over for the summer.

Mayor de Blasio joined with New York Road Runners to announce the ban on cars in Central Park, an effort that dates back to the Lindsay administration in the 1960s.

“This park was not built for automobiles,” de Blasio said. "Literally, it was built before there were automobiles. It was built for people."

De Blasio to ban cars from Central Park during certain hours

De Blasio made his announcement on the eve of Earth Day — a holiday the mayor, who gets chauffeured from Gracie Mansion to a Brooklyn gym — that calls on people “to live differently” to fight climate change.

At the peak hour, 850 cars roll through the Central Park “loop drives” that'll soon be car free south of 72nd St. Cars will still be able to use the traverse roads across 96th St., 86th St., 79th St. and 65th St.

Cars' presence in Central Park have been slowly restricted over the years.

In 2015, cars were barred from Central Park above 72nd St., while restricting northbound car traffic from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and southbound from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on weekdays.

The city also kicked cars out of Prospect Park this year.

“We really haven't heard many complaints in Prospect Park,” said Department of Transportation Commissioner Polly Trottenberg said. “People, it took them about a month and they adjusted.”

Runner Vivien Tartter, a psychology professor at City College, tries to avoid areas of Central Park when she runs, twice a week.

“The park is just such an oasis in the city and so beautiful and we shouldn't need to be worried about dodging traffic, listening to horns and smelling fumes,” Tartter, 65, said. “Three-quarters of my run is no cars and it's just so much nicer.”

Michael Capiraso, president of New York Road Runners, a 60-year-old group, said the decision to ban cars hands over more road space to the runners, walkers and cyclists in the bustling, world-famous park, which sees more than 42 million visitors a year.

“My kids come here all the time, we are regularly on the roads with scooters, bicycles and running, so this is kind of a dream come true,” he said. “It definitely opens up the roadway.”
