Traffic moved pretty slow so there wasn't much of a need for traffic signals until the late 1880s. However, there were fines for racing your horse or buggy down city streets. Speed limits were set at 10 mph.

They make a great set of special forces.

These were originally called Stormtroopers, if I am not mistaken.

Grey Undercoat, White zenithal, Them I painted them with a blue black ink mix.
Light drybrush with a light grey.
Tarmac bases painted with a textured paint made out of a mix of dark grey & fine marble powder. Light drybrush with a medium grey.
Went over them again , lining with fine brush & the blue black in.
