April 26, 2013. Where ‘Share the Road’ Is Taken Literally. New York Times. "The Dutch term was coined in the 1960s when traditional urban architecture was being rethought, and today the woonerf sign is common, with slight variations, across Europe: a blue rectangle with stick-figure symbols of a ball-playing child and parent, a car, a house.
