It's a kind of back to basics approach for motorists. In these experimental stretches of road, gone are road markings, curbs, traffic islands, barriers and even traffic lights. Instead we encourage drivers, pedestrians and cyclists to interact and be more aware of each other.

The idea is so attractive, I hope it works - evidence is encouraging from the UK village where it has been trialled.
