Content:
In 'Fighting Traffic', Peter Norton argues that to accommodate automobiles the American city required not only a physical change, but also a social one - before the city could be restructured for the sake of motorists, its streets had to be socially reconstructed as a place where motorists belonged. The article, "Street Rivals: Jaywalking and the Invention of the Motor Age Street" was adapted from chapter 3 of this book.
