wrong way driver

Given the number of one way streets around Boston, we've all seen wrong-way drivers, however given that this is a slow time of year for unusual events along the river, I'll take what I can get.

This wrong-way driver was heading east on the westbound side of memorial dr. I'm assuming he or she did not realize memorial dr. is a divided highway, with two lanes on each side. I guess they also did not notice that all the cars were parked facing them and there were cars headed towards them in both lanes...

Conveniently, the wrong-way driver happened to head the wrong way right in front of the two state police officers that are stationed outside the sloan school construction. I thought they might yell at him, which would have been exciting, however the police officers stopped traffic and allowed the offender to turn the car around and head off in the right direction. Such a happy ending.
