The difference between shared space and filtered space

hopefully I can sum this up in a single tweet, because there is a lot of confusion going around, so here it is:

FILTERED = thru traffic selectively removed to foster attractive streets SHARED = attempt to create attractive environment without filtering

For any further details, please read any of the excellent posts on the subject from the likes of the GB Cycling embassy, Mark Treasure / As Easy as Riding a bike, David Hembrow and others.

Or alternatively, here it is again:

If you filter first, you can share the space without problems.

If you try to impose shared space without filtering, nobody is happy.
