At the busy intersection of Unter den Linden and Friedrichstrasse, a traffic policeman stands giving sweeping hand signals to direct vehicles. A tram, several automobiles and numerous pedestrians cross the junction in the historic heart of Berlin. Unter den Linden connected the Brandenburg Gate with the City Palace and served as the capital's grand boulevard; manual traffic control by uniformed policemen was still the norm during the Weimar Republic, before traffic lights became widespread.
