The streets of Adelaide in the year 1912 certainly would have sounded, looked and felt very different from the way they are today. In 1912 it was barely more than a decade since the motor vehicle had made its first appearance in public, and many people still thought it was a passing fad, never to replace the horse. But so popular was the motor vehicle becoming that it was soon necessary to impose minimal road rules, with the speed limit set at 10 miles per hour, and 4 miles per hour at intersections. The police were given the task of enforcing these limits by timing drivers over quarter mile long speed traps.
