Abstracts

EN

The author in the article analyses the marking of UK public transport stops on the ex ample of photographic documentation. The images were taken in two cities: London and York and the Welsh town of Betws-y-coed. e author takes a look at the network of land roads and, in particular, stops that stand out from the urban landscape. They are key elements of a complex network of interconnections developing over the centuries. Showing them in a historical perspective reveals the dynamics of change related to the development of technology, the evolution of transport models driven by the growing demand for mobility. The development, but also the standardisation of public stop signs encourages a better distribution of information and, consequently, more e¢cient travel planning, thus blending in with the cultural landscape of cities.
