Maybe this is the future of putting the human back into transit, and redesigning streets for multi-purpose transportation: Parisian urbanites are experimenting with a “street code” to designate the rules of the road, and for the most part seems like common sense.

This video explains the system in further detail and highlights other features of the urban network.
