Harvard Square made a better square than a circle yesterday morning.
The new rotary-traffic circle flunked its first real test at 9 a.m. this morning when thousands of work-bound commuters tied up the intersection for 45 minutes.
Cars had flowed smoothly until mobs of pedestrians threw a crimp into the traffic.
This occurred in spite of 15 policemen detailed to convoy pedestrians and keep the traffic moving. A handful of city engineers watched yesterday's mess and suggested:
(1) White safety zones should be painted from the curbs to the kiosk. (2) More one-way streets.
