    European cities of Drachten (The Netherlands) and Bohmte (Germany) have already removed traffic lights and signs from their towns, for the same reasons - too many signs are confusing to drivers, and fewer or no signs forces drivers to pay much more attention to other drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists.

    The mayor of Bohmte, Klaus Goedejohann, says they want to give the town back to the people.
