Dave posts Bob Frankston's comments on Boston Driving.

Just get a car, close your eyes and enjoy the experience. Just remember that green means proceed with caution, yellow means accelerate and red means look both ways for cops.

I have to agree. I don't mind driving in Boston at all. I dove into it headfirst when I moved here. I don't think it is any worse than driving in other big cities I've been in. Yes, there are some weird annoying quirks here. But once you get a feel for where things are it's not bad at all. The fun part is slowly discovering new routes and how close everything really is. Remember, Boston is tiny compared to most west coast cities, most places you'll want to get to are within 4 to 10 miles away tops (even if it doesn't feel like it).
