shared spaces

Shared spaces are areas where pedestrians and vehicles coexist without traditional traffic controls like signs or signals. In these zones, pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers navigate the space together, encouraging slower speeds and increased awareness to enhance safety and accessibility. The design emphasizes mutual respect, with clear visibility and minimal barriers, fostering a more social and accessible environment. Shared spaces are often used in city centers, plazas, and pedestrian-friendly streets to create welcoming, lively areas that prioritize people over vehicles.
