Hi again, looks like I have brought a lot of confusion in my previous posts by misuse of the word 'alley'. The latter seems to have too broad range of meanings, and many of them are not what I meant. Just compare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alley (not good as a 'living_street') and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Alley.JpG (might probably be).
Please consider the following proposed definition for a 'living_street': 'living_street' is a: - pubic street or way - in a residential area - intended for mixed vehicle/pedestrian traffic - where vehicles have extra limitations and pedestrians have extra rights as compared to normal streets/ways (details depending on local legislation) - may optionally have a name as a street - may be optionally marked with "Residential Area" traffic sign where appropriate. Please kindly comment/criticize. Regards.
