Shared space is a simple concept: one road surface for pedestrians and road users with a low speed limit and no road markings, signs nor other superfluous furniture. This way users become more aware of their surroundings, make eye contact more often, whether walking or behind a wheel, and so have less accidents. Statistics show this to be true. Ben Hamilton-Baillie of Whitelaw Turkington, the architect behind the Ashford Ring Road shared space project, told the BBC in 2011: '[Three years on] it looks as if there has been a significant drop, particularly in more serious accidents - maybe as much as 75 per cent.'
