There's a "whip across all four lanes at 65 mph" variant which I saw twice last week on the same stretch of highway (I-95 North, near Newburyport MA). Speaking of local(Boston-area) grumbles: Who was the wise guy who mis-designed the merge of I-93 and US 1 (our two MAJOR inbound expressways from the north) and then had the gall to put the off-ramp for Storrow Drive (another major roadway) about 500 ft past the merge? Can we make HIM/HER drive it every day at crush hour? -- -- don't shoot me, I'm only the (would-be) safe driver!
