That's a bit of hyperbole. Motorists are forced every day to deal with road closures, detours, obstructions, traffic from construction, etc. I don't own a car and even I know that.

Not to mention that in many cases the sidewalk detour is built into the roadway, taking away either parking or a driving lane (or both).

I'm not saying that's wrong, and I agree with the problem identified in the article and that better enforcement should occur, but both drivers and pedestrians are impacted by construction and the goal should be to minimize the burdens on both and improve the safety for both.
