The only living streets I know were converted from a street to maxspeed=20 and pedestrians have right of way that's if cars are allowed any more. Three notable examples come to mind, they are Pitt Street and Martin Place in Sydney, and the Queen Street Mall in Brisbane: http://osm.org/go/u...@roooc9- http://osm.org/go/ued2...@6-- These are exceptions and usually rare, certainly not back streets as they are usually areas of very high pedestrian traffic. _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
