This telephone tower in Stockholm in 1890 shows how the city was covered in thousands of phone lines. A bit more information is available at Colossal.
Manhattan looked similar in 1887, but notice how tidy the Swedish tower is by comparison.

On 7 September, 1967, at exactly 4:50 AM, Sweden’s traffic came to a standstill. It was “H Day” – Högertrafikomläggningen, or “Switching to Driving on the Right.”
All traffic in the nation stopped, carefully changed from the left to the right side of the road, and at 5:00 AM, continued on their way. Not a single accident took place, and in the aftermath, the accident rate actually decreased.
