There Once Was a There There

What did Oakland use for traffic control before stop signs? Traffic lights!



Don't blame Republicans. John H. Reading was Oakland's last Republican mayor from 1966-1977. Wikipedia:
In 1968 Charlie Finley moved the Athletics baseball team from Kansas City to Oakland during Mayor Reading's tenure. The Oakland Athletics won three World Series while Reading was mayor. He was instrumental in gaining funding and supporting construction of the new Oakland Coliseum and expansion of the Oakland International Airport.
