I tried to bypass the traffic congestion on Route 2 in Concord this morning by detouring through downtown Concord and re-joining Route 2 further downstream.
Bad idea.
I first got stuck behind two heavy trucks with collapsible ladders mounted at the back. This was not too bad, though. Just when I thought I'd perhaps shaved a couple of minutes off Google Traffic's travel time estimate, I found myself two cars behind an Audi that had slammed into the rear of a car stopped at a red light.
Wonderful. 2-minute savings? Erase, erase...
The rest of my drive featured an entitled truck driver who cut in front of me in Newton, and a car that jumped through an intersection in Newton and immediately slammed on the brakes.
The icing on the moldy cake? Amazon has short-listed Boston for its HQ2 nightmare...
Fun times!
