Every morning I get to crawl through 7:30AM commuter traffic on I-290. The highway is under construction so three lanes mysteriously become two in two locations - one of which is where Rt. 146 connects to 290 ... basically two highways become two lanes.
My alternatives are Southbridge St., where the left lane is a left-turn-only at one intersection, then the right lane becomes right-turn-only at the next immediate intersection, and continues swapping ... or Rt. 12, which is rather out of the way and takes just as long as sitting in 290 traffic.
I tried to get out of the 8AM classes ... I really did ... all these routes are perfectly fine during non-rush-hour times ...
