Bob Frankston on Boston Driving.
If you donât drive in Boston you arenât really here, youâre just visiting. Boston driving is like the Internet ö you have to take responsibility for your own survival and not rely on the benevolence of those between points A and B. Why do you think the end-to-end principle was developed here! Of course, now that I-90 goes to Logan even a visitor can find it. They gave both direction of the Ted Williams Tunnel the same name! It was so much fun to see people looking for the Sumner Tunnel which they took from the airport since you have to take the Callahan to get back. Ever since they changed the rules to give priority to cars leaving the traffic circle weâve lost the edge. And requiring all cars to stop at stop signs ö what a waste. It wasnât that way when I took my driving test (really ö 2nd and 3rd cars didnât have to stop).
Just get a car, close your eyes and enjoy the experience. Just remember that green means proceed with caution, yellow means accelerate and red means look both ways for cops.
