When Media Gives Even Intentional Traffic Violence a Pass

A satellite-view map of detours on Broadway in Cambridge between Galileo Galilei Way (at the left edge) and Ames Street (at the right edge). A hashed "work zone" is shaded in along the north side of the block in the upper half of the aerial view. A right arrow indicates one-way motor vehicle traffic in the middle of Broadway; below that, another two-way arrow indicates two-way bike traffic on a separated path along the southern edge of the roadway; below that, a dashed line indicates a pedestrian detour route along the southern sidewalk.
