(UK) Traffic in Villages Toolkit
Ben Hamilton-Baillie’s most celebrated work was in the town of Poynton, Cheshire. Traffic lights were removed and a ‘double roundel’ introduced, which meant cars had to negotiate with pedestrians and cyclists.
The Guardian obituary on Ben Hamilton-Baillie, a leading UK advocate for shared spaces approaches to streets especially in smaller rural communities, mentions that he produced the Traffic in Villages Toolkit, applying the various principles.
I haven't yet read it, but a quick glance at the companion Traffic in Villages Checklist, to be used in evaluating characteristics of places alongside mobility questions, indicates that it's applicable far beyond the rural setting for which it was developed.
Two not dissimilar publications from Oregon, Main Street: When a Highway Runs Through It, and Washington State, School Walk and Bike Routes: A Guide for Planning and Improving Walk and Bike to School Options for Students, are equally useful in a variety of settings.

Note that while I was once enamored of the "shared spaces" (woonerf) concept I am less so today. Not conceptually, and not in terms of the urban design elements that are espoused, but because in places where automobiles are still accorded the top of the pyramid in terms of privileged access, mixing in more vulnerable users can be dangerous.
