- Winter Nor'easters: Coastal storms bring heavy snow and high winds. Visual verification of road clearing and visibility is essential for safe winter driving.
- Summer Tourist Surge: From June through September, traffic volumes increase by 30-50%, especially on weekend afternoons and near the Old Port.
- Bridge Icing: Coastal moisture and near-freezing temperatures create frequent black ice on bridges and overpasses.
