In those day's crossing a street used to be a real challenge for pedestrians.There were no rules for drivers.the New York police department had to create a special squad to handle traffic police officers stood at intersections and tried to direct the traffic,but very often they were run over by vehicle,by 1912,New York city had 38,000 motor vehicles.something had to be done about all the traffic on the streets!
