Radical idea. Perhaps.

But consider this when thinking about the future success or failure of Phoenix:

"When a driver doesn’t know who exactly has right of way, he or she seeks eye contact and reduces speed. These “naked streets” without traffic lights, road signs, barriers and other traffic controls forge shared streetscapes where cluttered space is replaced with common sense. These approaches are part of efforts to create walkable streets and design road conditions for multiple uses, not simply car driving."

    by Patrick B4 Radical, yes, but certainly worth considering. The notion that 7th St. and 7th Ave. should be major thoroughfares is preposterous. I would however suggest something else for crossings at Buckeye, University, and maybe Broadway, where truck traffic must be considered.
