Traffic Experiment in Kensington - common sense to be used instead of traffic lights.

It is encouraging so see the success of the removal of all traffic lights, lines on the road and even the
separation of pavement from roadway on a long stretch of Exhibition Road in London.  Instead of obeying instructions, drivers, cyclists and pedestrians are expected to use their own good sense and treat each other with respect.  It sounds too good to be true, but evidently it is a system increasingly used in continental cities, and accidents are substantially reduced.  The area certainly looks much more attractive without all the road signs.  It would be great it it could be a pilot scheme not  only for traffic but in other areas of our lives.  Our brains and common sense are being eroded by nonsensical bureaucratic laws, making us act in a way that goes against all our instincts, e.g. cases where police or firemen are not allowed to put themselves in danger, and a member of the public has to do so instead in order to urgently save a life.
