If you look at Third Avenue Auto’s site, you can see a photo of the pedal car the headless woman’s astride in the Streetview picture. I wrote them and asked they knew Streetview would be passing by and set that up, or if the lady was unwittingly ready for her cameo.

Update: A reply from the owner:

Gardenwife: You have a keen eye, Unlike “CarLota” who did not see the camera. However I have found her a head, so next time she will have a smile. Thanks for fun mail. Larry Burchfield, Owner Third Ave. Auto

In the first picture the road looks quite normal to me.

One step ahead, the whole road is a security area:

You may ask: Why was the whole road blocked like this?
The building on the left side was the former US embassy until 2008. The security measures were removed as soon as the embassy had completely moved to the Pariser Platz building in May 2008.
