“Traffic Jams in Regency York” (Friends only)

Regency York had its share of traffic problems, some of them strikingly similar to those we experience today. Consider some of the basic traffic – coaches, waggons, horses, sedan chairs, pedestrians – and the ever-familiar problems of parking, congestion, narrow streets, road-rage incidents, and boy-racers. You’ll learn that then controversial solutions to the various problems, such as new river crossings, road-widening, and driving on the left, were slow to emerge…if, indeed, they ever did!
