A pioneering study by Donald Appleyard made the astounding discovery that a sudden increase in the volume of traffic through an area affects people in the way that a sudden increase 'in crime does. Appleya~d observed this by finding three blocks of ho~ses in San Francisco that looked much alike and had the same kind 'of middle-class and working-class residents, with approximately the same ethnic -mix, The difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down Octavia Street (LIGHT street, in Appleyard's terminology) while Gough Street (MEDIUM , street) was used by 8,000 cars daily, and Franklin Street (HEAVY street) had around 16,000 cars a day. Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour as Octavia had in a day, I . Heavy traffic brought with it danger, noise, fumes and soot, directly, and trash secondarily. That is, the cars didn't bring in much trash, but when trash accumulated, residents seldom picked it up. The cars, Appleyard determined, reduced the amount of territory residents felt responsible for. Noise was a constant intrusion into their homes. Mani Franklin Street residents coveredtheir doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their houses. Most families with children had already left Conditions on Octavia Street were much.different. Residents 'picked up trash. They sat on their front steps and chatted with neighbors. They had three times 'as many friends and twice as many acquaintances as the .people on Franklin. On Gough .'Street, residents said that the old feeling of community was disappearing as traffic increased. People were becoming more and more preoccupied with their own lives.
