Is it a Living street or a woonerf? On the Dutch radio they told that in the English Language there isn't an english word for this. See Woonerf and nl:woonerf. 84.31.63.205 22:03, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
This article is very pro-"living street". It needs to be rewritten. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.153.156.221 ( talk) 18:34, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
I have addressed the confusion between the living street and the woonerf by explaining the differences, such as the rules regarding vehicular traffic as well as the different street design concepts the living street design incorporates: the green street, the cool street, and the complete street.

I'm pretty sure the concept of a "living street" and "shared space" are identical but are split across borders. The shared space article mentions an entire village/subdivision in the Netherlands where the concept is applied but doesn't mention that many other small sections in the netherlands use a similar concepts. Woonerf is a set of regulations in the Netherlands for this particular type of traffic-calmed zone. "Living street" is a design standard and "shared space" is the synthesis between the regulations and the (non-)road design. All of these concepts deserve more mention and differentiation on the traffic calming page; they are alternatives to speed humps, tables, bumps and such. The concept of complete street is in many ways the opposite of living streets, but is also traffic calming. Serious cleanup and organization is needed before neutrality should even be an issue. Don't have a semantics war; somebody pick a name for this new but unified concept. 75.161.90.113 ( talk) 20:36, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
A living street is a street in which, unlike in most 20th century streets[citation needed], the needs of car drivers are secondary to the needs of users of the street as a whole. It is a space designed to be shared by pedestrians, playing children, bicyclists, and low-speed motor vehicles. This contrasts with the shared space scheme philosophy which gives all road users equal priority in community spaces.

I can't help noticing that lead image has no people in it at all. Surely that is not really the point. Would it be better to use a picture with children playing and adults spotting and chatting etc? PeterEastern ( talk) 09:38, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
The article has two major problems:
To fix this, we need :
Otherwise, I am afraid I will start to delete big chunks as a well-meaning, but nevertheless original research, for the reason I mentioned above: while in general the concept is understandable, in detail there is quite a lot of confusion. Staszek Lem ( talk) 18:09, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
I have made improvements to the article which resolve issues pertaining to the concept of the "living street" and the relationship it has with similar concepts. I have additionally included country-specific history as well as influence from other countries in street design in the United States. References were used to establish reputable sources and interwikis were used where possible for clarification on particular concepts. These additional references satisfied the prior warning message regarding the need for inline citations, and the addition of country-specific history fulfilled the need for more information relevant to the United States.
