The Pothole Platoon: A Never-Ending Battle
Boston's roads are like a game of whack-a-mole, except instead of a cute rodent, you're whacking your car on craters that could swallow a small dog. These potholes aren't shy – they'll appear on highways, side streets, you name it. Swerving to avoid them can feel like a slalom competition, and if you hit one? Well, let's just say your dentist might be sending you a thank-you note.
Pro Tip: Invest in reinforced tires. They might not be budget-friendly, but they'll be a lifesaver (or at least a rim-saver) on your Boston commute.
Tip: Don’t overthink — just keep reading.
The Legacy of the Cow Paths: A Navigation Nightmare
Boston's road layout is a testament to a bygone era, when cows (allegedly) determined the city's infrastructure. Forget your fancy grid system. Boston's streets meander and twist like a drunken sailor on shore leave. Having a GPS is practically mandatory, and even then, be prepared to make some unexpected turns (don't worry, getting lost is half the fun...or maybe the entire frustration).
Pro Tip: Download a good offline map app. Because let's face it, cell service can be as spotty as the road quality.
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
The Big Dig's Little Legacy: Construction Never Ends
Ah, the Big Dig. A project of mythic proportions that promised to ease Boston's traffic woes. Did it deliver? Well, the jury's still out. Construction seems to be a permanent fixture of the Boston landscape, and orange cones are the city's unofficial flower. Be prepared for sudden lane closures and detours that would make Lewis and Clark dizzy.
Pro Tip: Allow extra time for your trip, especially during peak hours. Patience is key when navigating Boston's road warriors (and the construction warriors).
QuickTip: Use the post as a quick reference later.
