Traffic in Trafalgar Square, London, 1933. Buses, taxis and pedestrians with the equestrian statue of King George IV on the left. 'Trafalgar Square's traffic lights, inaugurated by the Mayor of Westminster in March', 1933, are somewhat more elaborate than those elsewhere "Round-about" traffic had long been established there, but the success of automatic control - both for pedestrians and vehicles - has proved so successful that the authorities put up twenty-one standards at this point to direct the great "round-about".' From "The Pageant of the Century". [Odhams Press Ltd, 1933]
