New Traffic Regulations On Square Are Effective Today

Let the driver beware today, for a new set of traffic regulations go into effect for Harvard Square and vicinity. Three new traffic islands will expedite a rotary traffic system which involves Massachusetts Avenue and Peabody Street.

Mass. Avenue will be a one way street, south, from the subway entrance to Church Street. Peabody Street will be a one way street, north, from Church Street to Cambridge Street. There will be no left turns permitted from Kirkland Street or from Garden Street to Mass Avenue. The subway entrance will not be part of the system at present.
