Which “One Way”?


This picture ran in the Miami News on March 19, 1969. It is now a part of the Miami News Collection in the Research Center at the Historical Museum.

It depicts a confusing situation at NE 15th Street & 2nd Avenue in downtown Miami. Two “One Way” signs show 15th Street as being only one way, but in opposite directions. Apparently the newspaper’s efforts were rewarded, as one of the signs was replaced the day the story ran.

In answer to your unasked question, Miami drivers, “Yes, it was always this bad.”

-- Robert Harkins, Assistant Curator – Object Collections
