Double-parked car blocks FedEx truck, snarling downtown Boston traffic
A double-parked white car on a narrow road in downtown Boston left a FedEx truck unable to complete a turn, backing up traffic on Monday evening. The incident drew attention to the city’s wider congestion problem, although people responding to a video of the jam disagreed over whether the car, truck or other drivers were to blame.
INRIX ranked Boston the sixth most congested US city and 12th worldwide in 2025, with downtown traffic averaging 13 mph. The article says many Boston roads predate cars, and reports that city transport officials are examining New York’s congestion-pricing system, which charges motorists to drive in parts of Manhattan.
