SHARED SPACE HAS A HISTORY

I am a strong supporter of shared space – the new fashion in Urban renewal.  What an improvement the initial ones in Fort and Elliott Streets have made to Auckland’s inner city!      While motorists still need to learn how to use them, pedestrians have been ‘sharing’ road space for years. We called it ‘jay walking’ and it was illegal.  So ‘shared space’ is accepting the inevitable – and doing it well.
