<p>smartraveler is traffic reports on the web for various cities including Boston. The *1 cell phone thing is smartraveler also.</p>
<p>Don’t let that article scare you. I read it in the paper this morning. It is not always that bad. I think everyone was so full of how wonderful the flyover is that they neglected to check the traffic before leaving on Sunday. I know I made that mistake. But to put things in perspective, we had the “15 mile” backup when we left, but took a shortcut between a few exits, but it took is 1.5 hours instead of 25 mins to go from exit 9 to the bridge. So that extra hour isn’t really bad in perspective. But yeah I hate the Sagamore also.</p>
<p>Now, the time we were leaving on labor day weekend with a hurricane on the way… ! (took me a few searches to find the hurricane, it was Edouard in 1996 with 2 and 4 year olds in the car)</p>
