Just like in the UK, the councils here make it up as they go along; a
"shared space" has no special legal status, unlike a "woonerf".
A general principle which has proved its worth is that to make things
safer, you remove the safety features. Like white lines and kerbs.
Everyone moans a bit, but in the mean time you slow down and watch out
just that little bit more... Hence shared spaces, an apparent
free-for-all that works well.
