In civic spaces and local streets, recognise a lesser need to segregate modes and use finishes continuously across the available space. Create shared space through choice of paving, furniture and integration with broader public domain, as opposed to segregation via kerbs, linemarking and signage.
Benefits and considerations
- Distinct but easily adopted treatment
- Maximises space available for staying in a residential environment with no through movement
Examples

Alliot Mews, Edmondson Park, incorporates movement of all modes supported by the street into the entire spatial environment. Flush surfaces and lack of modal segregation serve to reinforce the higher place outcome of this locale.
