Abstract :
Early streets contained a thriving social structure, without automobiles. When automobiles were introduced, there was not a friendly integration of the vehicles to city streets and country roads. Instead, early automobiles were rather anti-social to street life, often causing great divides between the public, who felt they had a right to streets, and drivers, whose automobiles? speed and power quickly dominated them.. This phenomenon was illustrated in a montage of clips in Harold Lloyd?s 1928 film, "Speedy" [26].
