	There are quite a few in the country now I believe Bob, more than one in Gloucestershire. Big sign says 'shared space' with a picture of a car, a motor bike and a pedestrian. And a 20MPH sign. If it is safe to do so you stop to let pedestrians across. But usually you see when you need to stop because we pedestrians tend to get into a bunch and all move together :-) It would not affect the Sat Nav except if not updated it would have the wrong speed limit.

	You know I had never heard of " Shared Space" until now, and if I'd ventured into one, I am sure I would be confused, and Tom Tom likely would have had a seizure edit and that is, WITHOUT any effluence of the aforesaid " Incahol"

	Wendy :-D :-D :-D AnnC I didn't realise I had done that must have been a Freudian slip. You can unseal your slips now wendy :-D and I have just had the obligatory glass of red. Shiraz though not merlot. Actually I prefer Merlot to Merlin, might stick with that.

	I just think that, if you haven't encountered it before you don't know what to do. I have seen pedestrians walk straight out in moving traffic not judging if the driver has time to stop, for heaven's sake it is not a magic circle. It actually isn't a very wide road but I think guide dogs must find it confusing, I haven't seen any though. It is the young children that worry me. You have a 3 year old, you teach them crossing a normal road then they watch you hovering right at the edge of the traffic willing it to stop. Oh and we always thank drivers who do stop, hoping bthat they will not mind stopping the next time. :-)

	Shared space in Ashford, Kent is often a nightmare. I remember when they thought of extending it, the Guide Dogs for the Blind were drawing people's attention to the problems they found when their dogs were trying to work in the area. Last week daughter and I drove slowly in the area and encountered 2 pedestrians hovering in the middle of a junction, big enough to house a reasonable roundabout in most situations. They just didn't know where to go as there was no central 'refuge' and their destination shops were many metres ahead. We slowed right down, but as we approached they decided to go back to where they'd started on the other side of the road. They could do that, but less able people would have a long trek across that junction. Gwyn
