Not only slow, the Artery is also dangerous, with an accident rate four times the national average for urban highways. Here, a woman is extracted from her car by emergency workers after a rush-hour accident near the entrance to the South Station Tunnel on March 3, 1996. Because the Artery is narrow and lacks breakdown lanes, a single accident can back up traffic for miles.
