Boston Common traffic advisory for Saturday, November 18

The Camp Harbor View 5K and other events will affect traffic and parking in the area on Saturday.

If you're coming into the City, we encourage you not to drive. Consider using Hubway, the regional bike-share service, or public transportation through the MBTA instead. For a faster return trip, the MBTA advises you to buy a round-trip ticket instead of a one-way. Walking is also a great way to travel around Boston.
