Over the River Weser in Minden, Germany.
A pedestrians at a bus-stop protected by a barrier, near Minden.
A stretch of pavement protected by a barrier positioned at the road edge.
Here again the safety barrier protects pedestrians and cyclists [near Petershagen, Germany]; if they can treat their people with more respect then why can't we?
There were so many examples.
Shared space, with cyclists and pedestrians, well protected.
There were so many good examples, that one doesn't have to look for them, whilst here (in Kent) one really has to look for them.
The daft part about it is that, in the above examples, both motor-vehicles, and pedestrians are protected, not juts vehicles, as they mostly are in the UK.
Will our Highways engineers ever learn?
