No stop lights no signs
Frame 2, Yehuda Moon and the Kickstand Cyclery, 8/26/2008.
While I am a fervent believer in theory, having to deal with drivers who believe that they own the road, and so entitled that they feel empowered enough to scream at bicyclists (and others presumably) not to mention road rage, I figure that we need intermediary steps before moving to a no stop light no sign street environment to increase shared spaces. Sure I believe in the use of different road materials like Belgian Block. We can't just jump from the current environment to a completely new environment from the get go.
See "Are Towns Really Safer Without Traffic Lights" and "The cure for traffic chaos? Remove the signs, lines, lights" from the Christian Science Monitor.
