Appleyard observed this by finding three blocks of houses in San Francisco that looked much alike and had the same kind oF middle-class and working-class residents, with approximately the same 5 ethnic mix. The difference was that only 2,000 cars a day ran down Octavia Street (LIGHT street, in Appleyard’s terminulogy) while Gough Street (MEDIUM street) was used by 8,000 cars daily, and Franklin Street (HEAVY strcet) had around 16,000 cars a day. Franklin Street often had as many cars in an hour ay Octavia Street had in a day. Heavy traftic brought with it danger, noise, fumes, and soor, directly, and trash secondarily. 10 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. Many Franklin Street residents covered their doors and windows and spent most of their time in the rear of their houses. Most families with children hhad already left 15 Conditions on Octavia Street were much different. Residents picked up trash. They sat on thelr front steps and chatted with neighbors.
