A shared zone is an implementation of a living street in Australia and New Zealand, where pedestrians, cyclists and motorised traffic share the same road space. Special rules and speed limits apply for shared zones. Shared zones are related, but not automatically the same as shared space, which is a somewhat wider concept including elements such as urban design.
The sign "Start Shared Zone" indicates that the shared zone rules apply past this point.
The sign "End Shared Zone" indicates the end of the shared zone.
