'''Vesteliensgade''' ({{wp|English language|Estmerish}}: "Vestelia Street", sometimes abbreviated '''Vsgd.''') is the main {{wp|thoroughfare}} through the city of [[Rimso]], [[Scovern]]. The fully pedestrianised street begins at [[Rimso|Prinsenstorv]] in the west, running for 0.8 miles (1.29 km) before merging into [[Rimso|Gælisksgade]] in the east, and is home to hundreds of shops, including many of famous international brands such as {{wp|Gucci|Armada}}, [[David Duhamel Company|Duhamel]], [[Haberlin's]] and {{wp|IKEA|Juhl's}}. It is the longest shopping parade in [[Scovern]] and one of the busiest in [[Euclea]], receiving millions of tourists monthly.

The first semblance of what is now Vesteliensgade was created in the 17th century and was known as '''Karlsgade''' (Karl Street), running from Prinsenstorv for around 0.1 miles eastwards before meeting with other thoroughfares. In the 18th century, there was radical redevelopment of Rimso, which included the widening of its central streets and the merger of five separate central streets into what is now Vesteliensgade. The street was one of the first domestically to cater to {{wp|motorcars}} in the 1900s and briefly sported a domestic railway terminus for the city ([[Rimso|Rimso Østbanegård]]), which closed in 1953. {{wp|Retail|Retail development}} began on the street in the 1960s, and quickly became a prestigious location for companies opening branches in Scovern. 

In the 1970s, the Rimsonian government made the decision to gradually limit motor traffic in the area on account of its growing popularity among pedestrian shoppers and major central location. With the opening of the [[Rimso Letbane|Vesteliensgade Letbane station]] in 1975, served by two of the initial four lines, motor traffic through the area was no longer seen as a necessity. The local government introduced {{wp|road tolls}} in 1975, before restricting the road exclusively to {{wp|bus}} and {{wp|taxi}} traffic in 1977 and eventually full pedestrianisation in 1980. Vesteliensgade is generally viewed as a positive example of {{wp|pedestrianisation}} in a {{wp|city centre}}.

Vesteliensgade remains an incredibly popular location among both locals and tourists. Its Letbane station is the [[Rimso Letbane|most-used on the network]], and the street is the most visited in Scovern. The street is also sometimes used {{wp|toponym|toponymically}} to refer to the [[Rimso|Rimsonian]] or [[Scovern#Economy|Scovernois economy]].
