Default Undressing Exhibition Road

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?
