EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history when traffic was under control in a unique and early form. The image shows a wet, rainy day with a bus passing by, creating a beautiful reflection on the slick streets. In the forefront of the scene is an early version of the Belisha beacon, signaling drivers to stop with its red light. Alongside this beacon stands a policeman with his outstretched arms, reinforcing the message for drivers to obey the signal.
The photograph transports us back to 1929, offering a glimpse into how traffic circulation was managed in earlier times. It serves as a reminder of how far transportation systems have come and highlights the importance of road safety measures that were implemented even then.
The combination of historical elements such as early beacons and police officers directing traffic adds depth and character to this snapshot from the past. It's fascinating to see how these methods evolved over time to shape our modern-day roadways.
Mary Evans Picture Library has truly captured an intriguing moment in transport history with this print, showcasing not only the physical infrastructure but also the human element involved in keeping traffic under control.
