  I think there's a lot more tot his that we may appreciate. though there seems to be no definitive science the findings tend to support the idea of 'shared spaces'. This is from the Timesonline:
  
  "In Kensington High Street, almost 600 metres of railings have been removed to allow pedestrians to cross where they want. The results have discredited the belief that railings prevent accidents: in the two years after they were removed, pedestrian casualties declined three times faster than the London average. Traffic engineers believe that drivers are now keeping a sharper eye out for pedestrians because they know that they may cross at any point".
  
  I would like to see a comprehensive review of traffic usage in Dover to see if it can't be improved/enhanced for the pedestrian and cyclist. We have given cars priority at the cost of these groups and it is time to redress the balance.
