Woonerf

A Dutch word that means "street for living." In practice, it is common space shared by pedestrians, bicyclists, and low-speed motor vehicles. They are usually streets raised to the same grade as curbs and sidewalks. Vehicles are slowed by placing trees, planters, parking areas, and other obstacles in the street, so that motorists travel at walking speed.
