Loving the new mixed use roads in Redfern. Such a great example of how design is essential for making a mixed use space “feel” mixed use.

@Bucket how are the drivers treating it? Is the design translating in to the expected driver/pedestrian behaviour?

@jessta yeah they seem to be slowing down and waiting for pedestrians more!

In such road types I noticed that a big challenge is getting pedestrians to feel comfortable taking space on the “road”, so I think that using design to give them permission is great. The various streets in Melbourne that tackle this in different ways show a great comparison
