The court dismissed the plaintiff's appeal against the municipality's refusal to grant an exemption from a closed street declaration. The plaintiff argued that his fear of crime and age constituted a special case warranting an exception, while the municipality maintained strict adherence to its parking-based policy. The court ruled that general urban insecurity does not qualify as a special circumstance and that residents must adapt their activities to existing safety measures.
