SoCal Connected
Busy Intersections in the 1920s, '40s, and '50s
Complaining about traffic is a SoCal pastime, but rare historical footage from AAA of Southern California brings some insightful perspective. Film from the 1920’s reveals the hazards people faced before there were any traffic signals or painted lanes.
