Road safety

A woonerf (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈʋoːnɛr(ə)f]) is a living street, as originally implemented in the Netherlands and subsequently in Flanders (Belgium). Techniques include shared space, traffic calming, and low speed limits.

The term woonerf has been adopted directly by some English-language publications. In the United Kingdom, these areas are called home zones.
