I have grown up and lived in Boston before moving here and obviously besides things like running red lights (which I haven’t seen at a rate like this since the Boston Police used to do it back in the 90’s) there is also a problem with no consistency on driving style.
Boston works because everyone is trying to get where they are going and everyone knows to be “aggressive”, but I can’t tell you how many times I have almost rear ended a clueless driver who stopped more than a car length away from the car in front of them or stopped way too far from the actual crosswalk. Also how have people not learned who is suppose to stop, who yields and that the person already in the rotary has the right of way in Newton Sq?
I know it’s more of a serious answer, but I really think there are too many people who are not used to city driving from the surrounding towns as well as more transplants in MA in general. It just feels like I am operating with a different set of logic with the drivers around me. And I’m not even going to get started on the dirt bike gangs that room the street during the summer

The Newton Square rotary is a consistent rage generator and I often wish I had rocket launchers mounted on my car to obliterate the assholes that plow through there.

The thing is it’s not just people plowing through there. It’s the people that stop for the stop sign when they have a yield. It’s disorienting going into the rotary not knowing if people are going to be too bold or too timid
