This article offers an analysis of different approaches to control walking in Stockholm in the inter-war period. Various social actors engaged in controlling pedestrians through legislation, police monitoring, educational campaigns and traffic control technologies. But the police, municipal engineers, local politicians and road user organizations differed in their aspirations to privilege motorists over pedestrians. While the inter-war period saw a shifting balance between pedestrians and motorists in Stockholm, the transition in terms of legitimate use of city streets was incomplete. Moreover, taking pedestrians’ viewpoints into consideration, what many observers and motorists understood as rebellion against traffic rules or simply bad manners, many pedestrians found to be the safest way to cross the street.

控制战间期间在斯德哥尔摩的步行

本文分析了两次世界大战期间控制斯德哥尔摩步行的不同方法。各种社会参与者通过立法、警察监控、教育活动和交通控制技术来控制行人。但警察、市政工程师、当地政客和道路使用者组织在将驾驶者置于行人之上的愿望上存在分歧。虽然战争期间斯德哥尔摩的行人和驾车者之间的平衡发生了变化，但在合法使用城市街道方面的过渡并不完整。此外，考虑到行人的观点，许多观察者和驾车者将其理解为违反交通规则或仅仅是不礼貌的行为，许多行人发现这是最安全的过马路方式。
