Kensington and Chelsea council is spending £25m to improve traffic flow by transforming Exhibition Road into the largest shared space in the UK.
Traffic is expected to slow to 20mph in the shared space area, which will stretch for 800m and will not have any kerbs or pedestrian crossings.
That will be relying on responsible drivers to see pedestrians and think they 'should' slow down and 'share' this space in a hugely busy area abundant with tourists who haven't got a clue what's going on noooo:
