Example 2: 10 m

The illustration above demonstrates the same principles as outlined in the previous example of a shared residential street but in a different context and with a wider street width.

New Delhi, India. Many residential streets function as shared spaces by default, doubling as social spaces to gather and play.

Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Dedicated play spaces help to share the street between all users and horizontally deflect vehicles to calm traffic.

Copenhagen, Denmark. The Potato Rows, or Kartoffelraekkerne, has play structures, landscaping, and picnic tables in the street.

Malmö, Sweden. The Bo01 neighborhood incorporates cycle parking, green infrastructure, and furniture to slow vehicles and prioritize people.
