German town to ban road signs

A town council in Germany has decided the best way of improving road safety is to remove all traffic lights and stop signs downtown.
From September 12, all traffic controls will disappear from the center of the western town of Bohmte to try to reduce accidents and make life easier for pedestrians.
In an area used by 13,500 cars every day, drivers and pedestrians will enjoy equal right of way, Klaus Goedejohann, the town's mayor, told Reuters.
'Traffic will no longer be dominant,' he said.
The idea of removing signs to improve road safety, called 'Shared Space,' was developed by Dutch traffic specialist Hans Monderman, and is supported by the European Union.
