wow.... and I thought present day California drivers were bad! Did traffic laws not exist yet in 1939? Geez... I bet accidents were common with high mortality rates.

This film was found by Portlander Rudy Zvarich and transferred by Gary Lacher. It was still perfectly preserved on 16mm, in this case Kodachrome. It is part of a series of studies from the late 1930's.

these people drive faster at this intersection in 1939 than they do on the freeway's present day.

In response to the comment below, this particular copy was from VHS footage purchased at the Spokane Portland and Seattle Railway Historical Society swap meet that is held yearly at the airport. It was in a box of tapes, which included other Portland traction topics. There was no attribution on the tape, nor anyway possible to ascertain its source. Asking around, I heard about it being retrieved from a dumpster. Obviously of historic importance, I decided to share it, with no financial gain.
