"Shared spaces" for drivers and pedestrians have appeared increasingly in our towns and cities.

They are places that try to make drivers take more care by removing traffic signs, pedestrian crossings and even kerbs.

A new report by former Paralympic swimmer Lord Holmes finds many people, including the visually impaired, are avoiding them.


I think we should be skeptical of any plans that try to improve pedestrian experience by removing the distinction between road and pavement, or suggest that crossings will be improved by making right of way ambiguous, particularly in narrow roads like Dartmouth Road.

I look forward to seeing more details of the plans for Dartmouth Road with clear indications about how pedestrians will be safer in the new design.
