Is mixing cars, cyclists and pedestrians a good...
A recent redesign of Exhibition Road in London has removed all road markings and sidewalks, giving pedestrians priority on the road with cars and bikes. Similar projects in Europe have slowed traffic and reduced collisions, but do you think mixing cars, bikes and pedestrians is a good idea?
英國倫敦展覽路近期重新設計，移除所有路標與人行道，在行人優先的原則下，讓路人、汽車與單車共用相同空間，類以計畫在歐洲成功減緩車速、降低事故機率，但各位覺得三者混合的共享空間概念好不好？

“We still live in a nation where some are having a little bit of trouble...”
– Jim Davis, founder of the Cycling Embassy of Great Britain.
「我們身處的國家中，仍有些人不太瞭解，有種東西如此簡單、自由、平等，能增進健康與身心靈福祉，不分年齡、膚色、性別、信仰，能賦權給大眾，不為後代製造碳排放量，對個人荷包、衛生單位、道路維護、交通指揮衝擊較小，還能恢復社會禮貌、睦鄰與地方精神，這應該是種好東西。」
- Jim Davis，英國單車大使館創辦人
