Express lanes are the shiznitz!! If the toll is under $3 during rush hour most likely traffics not too heavy on the regular lanes.

Don't get on the fast lane if you're not gonna go faster than everyone else, move over for faster vehicles.

This was temporary detour. It's now closed and the regular 495 North exit is open on the right.

This should be a familiar sight to anyone who drives I-495 regularly. Sitting in traffic behind the car in front of you!

If everyone would just stay in their lane we'd all get where we're going a lot faster

When you merge onto the highway, try using two things: 1) turn signal, 2) your f**king gas pedal.

Traffic has been like this for the past 30+ years. Arrive and leave early.

It's probably a good (and legal) idea to signal when you're changing lanes.

Learn where all the exits and shopping centers are so you have bail out options when traffic is bad.
