Description: At the foot of a signal post on a concrete island, a policeman in a dark uniform and peaked cap waves his arm and sends a line of sedans across the cobbled intersection, while other cars come down the avenue; beyond, loft buildings and a billboard with an arrow for the Holland Tunnel. The tunnel under the Hudson to Jersey City, opened in 1927, drew heavy traffic to the streets of lower Manhattan.
