When I took the first photo in the early 1950s the light traffic of the time allowed me to stand in the middle of the road and compose the shot. In those days cars were a little noisier than now so one could hear if a car was approaching from behind. The second shot in 2009 was taken during a 10 second break in the traffic, luckily Westborough is now one-way so I was able to visually assess the right moment to leap out and take the shot.
