Shared Space

Shared Space is an urban design concept that removes traditional traffic control measures, like traffic signals and road signs, to create a more integrated environment for all users—drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians. The idea is to promote interaction and collaboration among road users, encouraging them to negotiate right of way informally. This approach can enhance safety and accessibility, as it often leads to slower vehicle speeds and more attentive driving. The goal is to foster a sense of community and improve the quality of public spaces, making them more enjoyable for everyone.
