Naked Roads?!


Unfortunately, not what you think!
Boris Johnson, London Mayor has given the go ahead for the UK's first naked roads. These are roads which have no pavements, no road markings, no speed bumps, no traffic lights infact no road clutter what so ever. The idea being that by mixing pedestrians and drivers together then the street becomes a safer place. But does it work?

Read London's Evening Standard to get a local perspective.

Brake - the road safety charity are big fans and give case studies of where the schemes are already in operation.
