EDITORS COMMENTS
Wot, No traffic? This Road Scout was left bewildered as he stumbled upon the main London to Brighton road completely devoid of any vehicles at Povey Green this afternoon. Despite official records indicating a steady flow of 750 cars per hour passing through this spot, there wasn't a single soul in sight. The deserted stretch of road painted an eerie picture against the backdrop of a monochrome landscape. Captured in black and white, this photograph from the 20th century showcases not only the absence of traffic but also highlights the solitude that can be found amidst bustling city life. The portrait-like composition draws attention to the mechanic who stands beside his broken-down vehicle, perhaps pondering over what could have caused such an unusual occurrence. The presence of a road sign belonging to AA Road Service adds another layer to this intriguing scene. It serves as a reminder that even reliable services can sometimes face unexpected challenges. However, it is important to note that this image should not be associated with any commercial use. This print by TopFoto. co. uk invites viewers to contemplate the mysteries hidden within everyday life and encourages us all to appreciate those rare moments when time seems to stand still.
