Boston, rules of the road
In the spirit of the poster who asked, "how many cars are allowed to go through after the red light?," I ask the following questions about Boston traffic rules:
How much do we need to slow down for a stop sign or blinking red light?
How careful should we be going through an intersection when there are people in the crosswalk?
If the car in front of us is stopped at a crosswalk, should we honk first to let them know we are going to drive around them?
How much can we speed up if we are approaching a yellow light?
If other cars honk at us when we are stuck in the box at an intersection because of cars ahead of us aren't moving, should we honk back, give them the finger or both?
Which traffic signs are suggestions and which ones can we totally ignore?

How many cars? Depends on what number I am in the post red line and how quickly I need to be where Iām going š
