This is the case in some parts of Hong Kong, and it works beautifully — it's actually part of an active campaign on the part of the HK government to increase HK's pedestrian accessibility[1]. Interestingly, even here in one of the most densely-packed cities on earth where 95% of the population uses public transportation on a daily basis, pedestrians are only now being thought of as more than second-class citizens. 1. http://www.td.gov.hk/en/transport_in_hong_kong/pedestrianisation/pedestrianisation/ http://www.td.gov.hk/en/transport_in_hong_kong/pedestrianisa...
