Ooh, those measurement studies sound interesting!

It is a pity that "shared space" is problematic - in Britain they often try to use it in places with lots of motor traffic, and as a result it isn't feasible in practice for vulnerable road users to meaningfully share the carriageway. In my limited experience Exhibition Road is mostly too busy to be really successful (except for the bit at the end with lots of restaurants). You can't really saunter across from the Science Museum to the V&A without your Green Cross Code.

More from the cycling point of view at https://aseasyasridingabike.wordpress.com/2016/03/09/removing-isnt-always-better-the-problem-with-the-shared-space-concept/ and http://www.aviewfromthecyclepath.com/2014/04/shared-space-revisited-hype-continues.html

I gather that people with poor vision have problems with very low-profile or missing curbs, and they and people with poor mobility have much more difficulty crossing traffic when there are no clear places where pedestrians have priority.
