Transportation
Lots of Cars and Trucks, No Traffic Signs or Lights: Chaos or Calm?
A new film makes the case for Poynton's shared space experiment.
No traffic lights. No traffic signs. No painted lines in the roadway. No curbs. And 26,000 vehicles passing every day through a traditional village center with busy pedestrian traffic.
It’s called "shared space." Is it insanity, or the most rational way to create a pleasant place where drivers, cyclists, and people on foot all treat each other with respect?
