Shop opening and Increased No of people on streets

I am not concerned with my shop opening - as a sole trader in cosmetics I am one person with a small shop so can limit the people entering and supply hand sanitiser and socially distance. I am concerned with the number of people passing each other on the High St and other shopping streets. I think you should limit the no of people on a street - non essential High St shopping should be done by allocating days to the first letter of a surname for example and excluding the Mc part of a name Of course this will be on trust but I think most people would comply - no one wants to catch the virus. You can definitely control the no of people in shopping centres and perhaps gate some streets.

It would reduce the number of people passing each other on the street - you typically see people stop and chat in the street quite close together so it might reduce this risk..
