Re: what an eyesore
I've always thought the shared space idea is a good one - but it took 9 years to get the Cromwell Road scheme in London set up so heaven knows how long it would take for a town-wide scheme to come into being!
Shame places like Accy don't have cobbles any more, that would slow the vehicles down. In Bruges in Belgium, all the central streets are cobbled - it looks nice, and it keeps the traffic to a sensible speed which doesn't interfere with the pedestrians.
