N2  - The Hans Monderman Model of shared space, where the carriageway is shared by both pedestrians and vehicles, is now being incorporated in residential area designs throughout the U. K. It is suggested that the design guidance and regulations relating to shared space could be improved and clarified if measures to reduce vehicle speeds were used which were not in themselves sources of potential danger. The use of poor visibility should be rejected as a means of achieving speed reduction through anxiety; this conflicts with the aim of creating residential environments that 'feel safe', as well as relying excessively on the moderation of all drivers using the scheme.<p />
