I find Boston traffic reports to be very lazy at best, particularly
the ones on WBZ where they only focus 4 or 5 major "trouble"
spots(Central Artery, Tobin, Tunnels, MassPike eastbound and 128). 
In other major metros, you always hear traffic reporters mentioning a list of possible traffic
problems and areas to avoid *tomorrow*(ie, construction delays, route closings,
special events,etc.). With the Big Dig construction altering traffic patterns
in Boston almost on the weekly basis, you'd think traffic reports
would contain warnings/tips/suggested alternate routes for motorists.
