V obytných oblastech v Nizozemí se ujal model plánování ulic nazývaný #Woonerf
Principem je, aby nebylo přirozeně možné pro auta jet rychleji než tempem chůze
Způsob, jak toho docílit, je přidat záhyby a doplňující objekty, jako třeba stromy https://twitter.com/BrentToderian/status/1446705017142976513
… and the verdict is in. The matters are as I feared. The tree roots would be damaged by the megawide (for a residential street) 6m carriageway. So the cith has decided that the trees have to go, instead of giving cars a more reasonable amount of space; even designating this residential street legally as a proper #woonerf.

Behold a pre-woonerf.
The traffic signs are there, the regulatory machinery in place — so legally it already is an official woonerf. (It even has traffic calming measures with concrete blocks and, yes, also paint.)
But the true street reconversion still needs to happen (and they’re on the planning).
Personally, I like this way of working. Don’t let the (distant future) roadworks be used as an excuse for not already taking action.

I love this. Not only does this accomplish making it non-road like but elimenates flooding issues.
"Raising the street to the curb level creating a continuous space like a Dutch #woonerf, with #planters and benches on the sides to force drivers to go around them and slow down."

@Silvergoatish @rivoluzioneurbanamobilita I lived in and campaigned for better streets in the UK through the 1990s and early 2000s until I emigrated to the Netherlands in 2007. In 2008 I wrote on my blog about play streets in the UK, which existed in the 1950s, though 40 years later everyone had seemingly forgotten about them:
