Architects have come up with designs for how Moseley would look if a revolutionary scheme to remove bollards, kerbs and traffic signals gets backing.

The artist impressions for the village centre show what it could look like if it was turned into what would be city’s first “shared space”.

Under the plans, creating a single level for roads a pavements would mean there would be no clear boundaries for drivers, pedestrians and cyclists and no marked crossings or traffic lights.

Instead road users would be forced to find their own route through busy junctions and, according to the creators, approach more safely.

The success of shared space schemes – also known as “naked street” – at slashing accident rates in Holland have led to UK councils introducing them in congested towns centres.

Artist’s impressions of what Moseley will look like if its streets were to be de-cluttered were unveiled at a public meeting in the village.

Among the most striking changes proposed by architect Paola Spivach was the idea of scrapping traffic lights at the junction of Alcester Road and Salisbury Road.
