[Flatbush Avenue and Lenox Road, Brooklyn]

Intersection of Flatbush Avenue and Lenox Road looking south to Caton Av , Brooklyn. Image is of bustling street scene: cars, pedestrians, shops, trolley tracks, and catenary. Tiny circular sign on lower part of right lamppost above the parked car (need to zoom in to see it) reads "Stop on Red Signal" meaning the next visible signal (at Caton Av). This was common at the time and saved on installing signals at every corner.
