In the US, a living street is called a "bicycle boulevard."  These ways
typically only have through lanes for bicycles, with motor traffic
often limited to only one direction and required to turn at major
intersections (preventing it's use as a rat-run route for impatient
motorists with broken legs).  Segregated pedestrian facilities (such as
sidewalks) are often (but not always) provided in an effort to move
pedestrians out of the way of faster moving, high-volume bicycle
traffic.
