#SanJose is looking a little busier in #OpenHistoricalMap. Comprehensive historical coverage of #TrafficLights (courtesy of the city) makes it easier to tell where the major streets ran.

1960 and today:

In 1960, there were only a handful of traffic lights downtown. The city limits were starting to expand to the east. A railway line still ran north and south along the east side.

Today, series of traffic lights indicate where major arterial streets run, such as Story and King roads. The Guadalupe and Sinclair freeways cut across the city, and a large interchange with the Bayshore Freeway dominates the right side of this map.

Someone brought back the accent mark in #SanJose, and not for the first time: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/San_Jos...

Map of San Jose centered on a label of San José with the accent mark. Also visible is the Berryessa/Norte de San José BART station.
