Poynton Regenerated

A community in decline, divided by decades of anti-social traffic engineering, is reunited and revitalised by streetscape redesign. Poynton, a village of 14,000 in England, has instituted a policy of 'shared space' on its roadways.

No traffic lights. No traffic signs. No painted lines in the roadway. No curbs. And 26,000 vehicles passing every day through a traditional village center with busy pedestrian traffic.
