Yes, and cars were narrower, which would have made for easy filtering everywhere. The road safety thing is noted, although for some reason it became an overriding concern and a social issue. Probably because they were trying to repopulate after WW2, so lives mattered in real terms more than they do today. But everyone was drunk, cars had no safety features, and nobody wore seatbelts... It really has been a remarkable social change since then. Culturally, it was the norm to have a few at work, and at lunch, then after work in the evening. Drinking and driving was a very normal thing, not a sin at all, and there was a pub to every couple of streets. Different world. Impressive public works and maintenance though. |

Mind you... I once had a rather interesting debate on the topic, with a 'safety chap' who suggested strenuously, that road safety was entirely due to the number of cars on the road, and that when there was only one car, there weren't any other's for it to crash into, so the roads were 'perfectly safe'...
https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/f5/77/dd/f577dd9a99f841882259aefa8d78ef2f.jpg
The first 'car'... Caughnaut's steam carriage, circa 1771.... It crashed!
Caughnaut tried flogging his idea to Napoleon to haul cannon around, and rolled it on a hill... causing carnage when coal falling out of the boiler started to set off gun-powder for the cannon, that was on the load bed!
Chap allegedly achieved a LOT of firsts that day;
- The first self propelled vehicle
- The first motor-vehicle accident
- The first speeding ticket
- The first charge of dangerous driving
- The first driving 'ban'
It was the only motor-vehicle in existence, and it was't even on the road, but in a field, and he STILL managed to have a crash!
Biggest problem in "Road Safety" at the time, was Dick Turpin and other highwaymen, holding up carriages on dark lanes!!
I DO wonder though whether Caughnaut MIGHT have been on to something.... I mean, imagine if all modern cars had six barrels of gun-powder in the boot, or a demolitions detonator in the petrol tank, rather than a air bag..... I doubt it would prevent any crashing.... but they wold only do it once!

Oh the nostalgia, I had one of those kiddie trikes. I loved the 'usually quite a bit of traffic about this time in the morning' bit, I counted a total of 48 moving cars in the whole film.

But still relavent today, okay we don't need the hand signals but the rest could go straight into a modern safety film.
