[AUTOMOBILE TRAVEL -- URBAN PLANNING & TRAFFIC CONTROL]. ENO, William PhelpsBiblio.com

The story of highway traffic control 1899-1939.

Yale University 1939. 4to. 7.5 x 9.4 in. xi 1 293 1 pp. With several diagrams street plans colour facsimiles of driving rules and street regulations designed by the author. Black publisherâ€™s cloth white lettering red sigil front cover for the Eno Foundation white lettering on spine minor shelfwear very minor rubbing w/ d.j. title & Eno Foundation sigil repeated on front cover Roundabout street plan for the Champs Elysees drawn 1912 approved 1913 and installed later after World War I in 1927 minor chipping & tears small tear upper fore-edge back cover darkening to spine still a VG/VG- copy. First edition 1 of 2500 copies printed of this seminal work detailing the authorâ€™s pioneering efforts of introducing traffic controls and street flow regulations beginning during the Progressive Era in 1899. Although Eno 1858-1945 had personally experienced his first New York traffic jam in 1867 it was missing the opening of the New York Metropolitan in 1899 that turned him to devote all his efforts to Good Roads engineering and traffic regulation and away from real estate. This volume includes his pioneering â€œRules of the Roadâ€ which suggested speed limits right-of-way laws slowing and stopping signals and that vehicles should stay to one side and in 1902 New York adopted the rules creating their â€œApollo Squadâ€ traffic police. As the Progressive Era â€œGood Roadsâ€ movement launched largely by bicyclists and further propelled by automobiles in the Brass Era traffic flow planning patterns and regulations were also considered and adopted by governments in London Paris Berlin Rome and others consulted from as far as Australia and Japan. In addition during both World Wars he developed the military traffic control codes used overseas and in 1901 incorporated the Eno Foundation for Highway Traffic Control along with inventing the stop sign marked pedestrian crosswalks taxi stands and pedestrian safety islands. Of interest is that Eno never learned to drive.
