ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Shared space

Shared space is an area where people, cars, bikes, and other things all mix together and move around each other. In a shared space, there are no lines or curbs dividing the space - instead, everybody and everything flows around each other. It's like a big dance floor where people, cars, and other things all move around each other. Cars must be careful to go slow and people must always be aware of everyone around them.
