Brilliant footage.
There's probably a few forum users in that footage

Notice most of the cars are RHD

Dear oh dear, utter chaos the way everyone using the street i.e people,cyclists, horse and carts, cars, and trams have no sense of order the way they are going in all directions.

It is madness isn't it.

On a slightly different tangent, the link below goes to a film from just a few days / weeks later that shows scenes of San Fran following the 1906 Earthquake. The footage from about 4:10 is the same street. Looks a little different and not so many cars etc
