Abstract
This study explores how shared-space street transformation can include pedestrians in a cycling dominant inner-city. Astraat, Groningen, is used as a case study to explore the effectiveness of typical characteristics and elements of a shared-street design. Three main domains of accessibility, connectivity and spatial legibility have been used to explore the different elements. The results show a large disparity in how the population experiences shared street transformation. Certain street design elements can be either an opportunity or barrier. The results show that cyclists have the perceived priority in this space and that most are against a lack of traditional road rules.The main recommendation would be to do further comparative research in the study area in order to identify definitive changes, both in terms of rules and physical design.
