Colors, linestyles, and legends

The City of Seattle has meters installed along the Fremont Bridge that log bicycle traffic on both the East and West side of the bridge, which runs North and South.

You're going to use matplotlib to explore how the traffic on the two sides of the bridge change during the day. Understanding how the two sides of the bridge get used during the morning and evening commute is important for any future development into cycling infrastructure that connects to this high traffic route.
