I love it how when I drive South from Boston on 93 and 95, there is
a stretch that just doens't make sense. Between Braintree (where 93
and 3 cross) and Norwood (where 95 and 93 meet), I would be driving
South on Route 93, North on 128, while in reality, I am driving West.
You gotta love it.
I just wanted to share the classic gripe of Boston beltway. If you don't know what I am talking about, pull out a map.
Readers have left 6 comments. 1. Schmidt What about in FreshPond where you could be going North on 3, West on 2, and East (?) on 16. 2. Boscorelli Did you guys know that Comm Ave, at least parts of it, is Route 20, Route 30, and Route 2? No wonder out-of-town folks get lost in Boston. 3. swesson Did you know that Memorial Drive is route 3? I never knew that until recently. 4. Boscorelli oooh, did you know Mass Ave is 2A? 2A is the road Paul Revere rode on on the way to Lexington/Concord. I think it's cool. 5. StevenO I never knew that Charlestown Bridge is Route 99. well, I guess that's pretty obvious. 6. Sully You guys are so young. I bet you guys weren't even born when they built route 90 and 93. 93 South of Boston was Route 1. Route 90 didn't exist before the 60s. |
