The old Kelley Square caused a lot of sideswipe collisions, and a statistically high number of collisions involving bicycles. There were NO pedestrian fatalities, except for one when a semi knocked down a lightpole. Because all driving decisions had to be negotiated by eye contact, cars could not get going fast enough to kill you. You're right about Vernon Street being a failure because of the wretched 290 ramps.
