Naked street refers to a street that has no signs, road markings, or traffic lights.

Naked street（裸街）指没有任何交通标识、路标或者信号灯的街道。

 

Traffic lights, barriers, signs, curbs¹, and pedestrian crossings are all taken out. The idea behind it is to make the road space less predictable. Instead of drivers being able to rely on road markings and charge along on the assumption that pedestrians² are all corralled safely out of the way, they will have to continually interact with people, make decisions about how fast to drive and generally take more responsibility for their actions. 

交通信号灯、路障、路标、路缘以及人行横道都被撤走。这一做法背后的理念是，让道路状况更加难测。驾驶人员无法再依靠各类道路标志和提示把行人安全挡在他们的行驶路线之外，相反，他们需要不断关注行人的一举一动，实时判定自己的车可以开多快，最终，驾驶员会对自己的行为更加负责任。
