It's not that hard to figure out. I only drive in Center City like once a month and I have no issue figuring it out, I'm sure first responders manage just fine.
Perhaps just Market Street though. I still don't understand why it goes from two-way in U City to one-way from 22nd to City Hall, then back to two way. Just make it two way the whole stretch.

Narrow streets like Walnut/Chestnut I agree making two way wouldn't help anything since the congestion is already very heavy.
