traffic messes is when we achieve what the traffic reporters call "The Great Circle of Traffic."

That's when the loop starting from the O'Neill Tunnel, going down the Expressway and I-93 into Canton, then up I-95 (128) into Woburn, then back down I-93 into Downtown Boston is entirely solid red for the full length of the loop on the traffic condition maps. Bonus points if it's solid red in both directions.

Almost saw that earlier today, save for a gap where the road was closed.
