Before the red, organge and green traffic light, police departments all over America tried various ways to keep the flow of traffic moving. The illustration above from the Daily State Gazette has no caption nor article describing the photo. However, in December 1916, right before Christmas, Trenton had a heavy snowfall accompanied by bitter cold. The background of the photo gives no indication of where the officer is stationed. It doesn't look like State and Broad, but could well be North Clinton and Hanover Street.
