This line of thought has become very popular among city planners here in Austria, but I've seen it implemented in 2 different ways: - in Vienna, they give priority to pedestrians in such shared zones, cars have to go very slowly and often struggle with large numbers of people in areas frequented by tourists. There is also a lot of confusion around the question where cars are actually allowed to go and when - in some tourist areas in Italy, where lower traffic roads have no sidewalks and cars go 30 Km/h, pedestrians walk on the edge of the street. This seems just as safe and less frustrating for drivers.
