Some of the main streets of Mohenjo-daro are of considerable size. One long street in that city, whose course has been traced for over half a mile, travels in a straight line from north to south and divides the largest mound into two parts. It must have been a most important thoroughfare, for in places it is over thirty-three feet wide, and could easily have accommodated several lines of wheeled traffic, the cart and chariot being in those days usual methods of transport (Pl. D, a).
