As to #5, according to my mother, at least in Manhattan and the Bronx, streetcars and buses stopped at every street corner and almost always on the near side of the intersection. The practice of having buses and streetcars stop at alternate blocks started during WWII as a fuel conservation measure. If you notice, in the Bkln photo, the car stop signs that are in the passenger safety zone are movable. The same was true of the original bus stop signs, at least those I remember in Manhattan and the Bronx. I would assume that due to theft, by the early 1950s, they were replaced by permanent bus stop signs. |
