Abstract: The article considers the history of the construction of express highways in San Francisco, California. A 1955 map is offered indicating highways whose construction was proposed but never undertaken due to political opposition in the 1950 and 1960s from neighborhoods in which they were to be located. It is noted that neighborhoods which were successful in preventing highway construction were middle and upper class neighborhoods.
