Here are just a few:. Boston is in a continental climate with winds blowing off the Atlantic. The summers are usually hot and humid while the winters are snowy and cold.

Boston has two major highways entering it, I and I the Massachusetts Turnpike, or "Mass Pike", or just "the Pike"; locals do not usually call it "I", though they will typically know what you are referring to.
I enters the city from the north and the south; the section running from Boston southward is usually referred to as the "Southeast Expressway" or just "the Expressway" but the northern section is just "93" sometimes called the Northern Expressway, although this is much less frequent than I south of Boston's tunnels The Pike enters Boston from the west. Another major highway, I, encircles the Boston area.
Be aware that the vast majority of locals refer to I as "Route ", which is I's former name, so they may not know what is being referred to. Route is still reflected to on signs with I and its signage only due to public pressure on MassDOT. It is rare for traffic reporters to not omit the I and I designations from this stretch. Past Canton and I's southern end signs no longer reflect the designation, although traffic reporters and much of the public still call it North of I's departure from the half-beltway in Peabody on the North Shore the road is still designated as to its ending.

If you want to book a car, it is recommended that you book your car before arriving in the USA. This is almost always much cheaper compared to just showing up. Also, try and book with a so-called 'broker', which usually works together with a few or many car rental companies and can offer the best deal. Some examples include Holidayautos , Holidaycars and Sunny Cars. For more information and tips about renting cars and campers, additional costs, insurance, traffic rules, scenic routes and getting maps and fuel it is advised to check the USA Getting Around section.
