Shared Space

I've added a downloads section. The first download link, "Shared Space" is a newsletter. It may be a bit difficult to navigate unless you print it out, doublesided and fold it up correctly. I expect the idea of making roads "more dangerous" to make them safer will sound ludicrous to most, but once you accept the principal of risk homeostatis it makes perfect sense.
The minimalist apprroach to road design, removing stop signs, crosswalks, and signals together with reducing sidewalk height is making roads safer in many European cities and even a few here in North America.
