At that time Speedway was called "The Ugliest Street In America," by Life Magazine it didn't have a true median; It had a hump, a linear speed hump, about 8 inches tall and maybe 4-6 feet wide and paved.

At that time, Speedway had curbed medians, with the 3-4 foot high concrete bases for the street lighting (that way, you could kill the driver but keep the lights upright in the event of an accident).
