Re: [Cz-L] Motor cars and traffic lights in Czernowitz?

Edgar,

It is amazing and impressive how you come up with this information.

My mother Erica would have been delighted at the confirmation of her memory
of traffic control at the Siebenbürgerstraße-Neueweltgasse-Petrinogasse
crossroads. She would have crossed this every day on her way to school.

Best regards,

David
