Safety first

Posted in: Bizzare Stories — PR-inside Entertainment News @ 5:51 pm

A German town has removed all traffic lights in a bid to improve road safety.
The town of Bohmte has adopted the idea of ‘Shared Space’, which means both drivers and pedestrians enjoy equal right of way by removing all the traffic controls, including signs and lights.
The mayor of Bohmte, Klaus Goedejohann, said: "Traffic will no longer be dominant." The project has cost the town 1.2 million euros, with the European Union covering half the expense.
‘Shared Space’ was an idea developed by Dutch traffic specialist Hans Monderman.
