    Traffic Design 1.PNG Traffic Design 2.PNG Traffic design 3.PNG T.D. 4.PNG T.D. 5.PNG Not sure if this would be of interest to anyone, but I thought it had some historical significance. The images come from a 1948 publication called, "The Traffic Design of Parking Garages". It was put out by the Eno Foundation for Highway Traffic Control in Saugatuck, CT.
    It shows how the post-war boom in car sales created a whole new industry. Parking!

    If anyone is interested in this book, I'll mail it out to you. First one to ask gets it. Mato
