Often in my travels I see houses who have their clotheslines in full view of passing traffic?
Many times I see underwear hung out to dry for everyone to see. 
Our own clotheslines are in the backyard, behind the block of flats. Some of them under the back unit balconies.
Even if my clothesline were in view of traffic, I'd put the smalls at the back and cover them with sheets and/or towels at the front.
Where is your clothesline, and how do you hang your washing?
