Abstract
Considers the likely safety implications of simplifying the drivers’ visual environment by removing or reducing the use of traffic signs and road markings, and the possible consequences for other more vulnerable road users. Reviews the applicability of ideas such as ‘shared space’ and ‘naked streets’, that were originally conceived in a number of other countries to more urban environments in the UK. Uses a range of information sources to reach a conclusion.
