The western German town of Bohmte has determined that they can make the way safer for pedestrians by getting rid of ALL of their auto traffic controls in the downtown area. Starting today, all traffic signs, stop signs, crosswalks and anything else that creates a dividing line between man and man-in-machine will be gone or ignored. The mayor says it's a new system called "Shared Space", where peds and cars will now have equal reich-of-way. Sounds like they're ditching traffic control for population control to me.
