[talk-au] Shared Zones (Or, Living Streets in car parks?)

[cleary]

It occurs to me that access is a differentiating feature. "Living streets" seem to be open to the public whereas the parking aisle in front of Bunnings or shared driveway of a block of units would (I think) be access=customers or access=private.

I agree with your view.  And perhaps applicable access=* tags would also be useful.
