At the Fifth Regional EST Forum in Asia held in August 2010 in Bangkok, twenty-two participating countries from Northeast, Southeast, and South Asia as well as a number of regional and international transport stakeholders unanimously agreed on the Bangkok 2020 Declaration in order to demonstrate renewed commitment to realizing a promising decade of actions and measures for achieving sustainable transport in Asia. It was the first time that Asian governments and other transport stakeholders endorsed a joint declaration which incorporates a comprehensive set of goals (20 EST goals) under different strategies within a clear time frame (2010-2020). This Sixth Regional EST Forum in Asia provided an opportunity to not only discuss and share the progress made by countries towards achieving the goals under the Bangkok 2020 Declaration, but also to further discuss the effective implementation of the Declaration.

New guidance to help local authorities design high-quality shared space schemes has been published by the Department for Transport. Shared space is a design approach that seeks to change the way streets operate by reducing the dominance of motor vehicles, primarily through lower speeds and encouraging drivers to behave more accommodatingly towards pedestrians. In the UK, shared space is usually applied to links and minor junctions with the aim of allowing pedestrians to move more freely within the space. This Local Transport Note focuses on High Street environments, but many of its principles will apply to other types of shared space.
