The Los Angeles Traffic Ordinance of 1925
A century of cracks in roads made for #cars. Now it's time to craft spaces that move us all.
''The Los Angeles Traffic Ordinance of 1925 went into effect 100 years ago next Friday, January 24. The new law gave motorists priority in the city’s streets and became the model ordinance for the whole country.
Here, two days ahead of implementation, the Los Angeles Record alerts readers to the most controversial provision of the ordinance. The newspaper sells the law as a less brutal way of “abolishing jaywalkers” than previous methods''.
- Professor Peter Norton of the University of Virginia
