現在，只有壹條規矩：永遠要給在右邊的人讓路。那麽經濟利益呢？（怎會蹦出這樣壹句？我已盡量意譯了，但還是覺得與前後無關）整個小鎮變得更加人性化了。“我們看到了彼此，並想彼此問候”壹位名叫Ulrike Republic 的居民說到。

Then he heard of a radical (激進的 ) traffic-management theory called "shared space".
而後他（市長）就聽說了積極的交通管理理論“空間***享論”
Pioneered by a Dutch engineer who thought towns were safer with fewer rules, it envisioned (設想) open surfaces on which motorists and pedestrians could communicate with one another by eye contact, other signals, and a greater consideration for one another.
此理論由壹位荷蘭工程師倡導，他認為更少的規則會使城鎮更加安全，（這個理論）所設想出的開放平面能夠供汽車駕駛者和行人以目光接觸，其他信號來進行交流，（與此同時，汽車駕駛者和行人都會）為彼此考慮的更多。
附：Pioneer v. 開辟, 倡導; 當先驅, 成為開拓者（根據上下文，這裏應作“倡導”講）

Separating cars firom pedestrians was wrong, argued the Dutch engineer called Hans Monderman, whose death this winter aroused people's interest in his ideas once again.
將汽車與行人分開是錯誤的，名叫Hans Monderman的荷蘭工程師這樣主張，而他在今年冬天的去世更使人們再壹次對這個想法產生了興趣。
Portrayed as a dangerous maverick decades ago, Monderman put in place more than 100 shared-space programs in the Netherlands.
數十年前被人們認為是壹個喜歡標新立異的人的Monderman 已經在尼德蘭完成了超過100個這樣的的空間***享項目。
附：put....in place 把……放在合適的位置（這裏意譯為“完成”，或者可以為“使項目到位”）

When the European Union started a research project on shared space, Bohmte decided to try it, along with six other towns, including Ostend in Belgium and Ipswich in England.

Not everybody feels good about the town having spent close to $.3.3 million on redesigning its downtown.

"In theory shared space is more human, but we're left out," says Mr. Breiner, a sight-impaired (有視力障礙的) man who cannot make eye contact with drivers.
“理論上，空間***享計劃是更人性化的，但我們則被遺棄了”壹位由於視力障礙而不能與其他駕駛者進行目光接觸的男士Breiner先生這樣說到。
Many people also worry that the child and elderly will not be able to communicate with drivers.
很多人還擔心幼兒和老人沒有能力和駕駛者進行交流。
Still, a 2008 study in Holland reported that shared space has reduced the number of accidents in sign-free areas.
盡管如此，壹項在荷蘭的2008年的研究顯示“空間***享”計劃在視覺交流順暢的地區減少了交通事故發生數量。
And Mayor Goedejohann is confident. His town averaged 50 accidents last year. Since the shared space concept was enacted (通過), there haven't been any, he says.
而且Goedejohann 市長自信滿滿。他的小鎮去年平均有50起交通事故。而自從“空間***享”概念通過後，他說今年還沒有任何事故發生。
