"Do not mix" is too expensive for smaller roads, and may not even be possible without tearing down buildings.
"Do not mix" is too expensive for smaller roads, and may not even be possible without tearing down buildings. Also "mix everything" is a viable option, too, if people behave themselves. The "woonerf" ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woonerf ) is a very good solution for densely built neighborhoods (even in the USA, it seems: http://ithacavoice.com/2015/04/ithaca-housing-project-includ... . In a similar fashion, I see little wrong with cyclists driving on sidewalks. Problems only start when they drive faster than pedestrians in a busy street. In other words: if they do not acknowledge that they are guests on the sidewalk. That is fairly typical behaviour in the Netherlands. People will cycle through almost empty pedestrian-only zones at 10-15 km/hour, slow down to walking speed when coming close to pedestrians, and start walking, bike in hand, if things get really busy. Legal? Not everywhere, but this rarely gets you a fine.
