The BBC's term for this idea is a "naked road". Apparently RB Kensington &
Chelsea are considering removing the kerb, traffic lights and signs on
Exhibition Road to trial the Dutch scheme where removal of all barriers
and signs is meant to encourage drivers to be more aware of pedestrians.
This is part of a redevelopment plan for Exhibition Road.

It's an interesting idea; Exhibition Road is an interesting road to choose
too. It has a high volume of pedestrian traffic; however, it also has a
large number of street parking spaces at the southern end. I wonder if
these would be removed under this proposal?

I drive down a road with no kerb on my way to work everyday.
It still has the parking spaces as before
