Oppose: The proper Canadian term is "armed services"; "military" (like "armed forces") is a bit of an Americanism. It is the services that are armed, not every single one the services' component individuals. — SMcCandlish [

I'm not sure that is wise at this point. Pedestrian zone, may be the main article, but its use is far from universal. Take a look at the incoming redirects; Pedestrian street, Pedestrian mall, Auto-free zones, Car-free, Carfree area, Carfree zone, Car-free area, Pedestrianized zone, Pedestrianized zone, Auto-free zone, Pedestrian Street, Pedestrianization, Pedestrianised street, Pedestrianisation, Pedestrian area, Pedestrianised, No-Car Zone, Pedestrian precinct, Car-free place, Car-free zone, Pedestrian-only use, Car-free urban area and Vehicle restricted zones. Given that list it shows that one name is clearly not universally accepted. This reply started as a comment, but I'm changing to Oppose given that the name may in fact represent local usage and should be left. The better solution here would be to leave
Category:Pedestrian zones as the parent for the concept.

Support for all the reasons Vegaswikian opposes. I see no evidence that the overall category of things covered at the
Pedestrian zone article is generating such a huge number of article that they need to be subdivided into categories for pedestrian malls, auto-free zones, etc. If/when they are, then this category might need to be this specific. — SMcCandlish [

Yahoo gets over 1,000,000 hits on pedestrian mall. So clearly this term is very common and in use. I fail to see how doing away with a well used term, that may well be able to have a separate article, helps the encyclopedia. If this is a regional difference it needs to stay. Given the vast range of being car-free, to not sub categorize these seems counter productive.
