The above sign is quite common in Europe. Most of the European
countries have it and in Greece the
official name translates to “Start of residential area marked as traffic calm”.
In Netherlands is called “woonerf” which is the most used international term from the
Dutch words wonen 'reside' + erf 'premises, ground'.
Historically this scheme originates from Holland. The Dutch
government developed traffic regulations for woonerfs in 1976, though the first
woonerf was built in the city of Delft a decade earlier.
In Australia we have the 10 Km Shared Zone which is a quite different in colours.
Maybe we need to rethink about not only the sign design but the sign usage as well.
