- A Path to Road Safety With No Signposts -
To make communities safer and more appealing, Mr. Monderman argues, you should first remove the traditional paraphernalia of their roads - the traffic lights and speed signs; the signs exhorting drivers to stop, slow down and merge; the center lines separating lanes from one another; even the speed bumps, speed-limit signs, bicycle lanes and pedestrian crossings.

- Designing for Cyclists -
The Camden Cycling Campaign has produced a series of outline designs for
schemes along the London Cycle Network to negotiate difficult junctions
in Camden. The aims with these schemes are to provide practical design
solutions, which try to find a balance between high-cost and over-engineered
solutions, and the current standards which are often low cost and fail to
offer adequate safety or attractiveness for cyclists.
