From "The Daily Telegraph":

"A German town has scrapped all traffic lights and road signs in a bid to make the streets safer. (...) The scheme, which is based on a Dutch traffic expert's idea of "shared space," will soon be implemented in Britain. London's Exhibition Road is set to become a "naked road" next year."

I've driven in lots of Dutch towns and cities, and it works there. Not many Saxos with neons in Holland though.....

I think they've been experimenting with this idea on Kensington High St for a while.

I think it's a good idea.

They've had naked streets in Holland for some time, these are something of a tourist attraction.

Exhibition Rd!!! Will anyone notice? It's used mainly as a car-park-both sides and middle of the road.
