Blind Crossing, 1960

In the Memphis terminal. Notice that the crossing here is completely blind from all directions due to the buildings on all sides of the crossing. Therefore it is practically impossible to see oncoming traffic until you are almost on the crossing. The street shown is a dead end. There is quite a bit of traffic here due to the industries in the area. You can see the large number of cars parked along the street and at the foot of the street shown in the rear of the picture.
