Potential system: Massachusetts DCR parkways

(1/3) > >>

neroute2:
This would be a system similar to usanyp, except that there are probably more urban ones than in New York. The Boston-area parkways form an interconnected network.

https://gis.massdot.state.ma.us/roadinventory/ can be used to determine who maintains what roads (but there are some issues with the rendering; e.g. US 3 is not DCR through Arlington). https://www.mass.gov/doc/dcr-parkways-designated-as-snow-emergency-arteries/download looks like a decent list to start with. https://www.mass.gov/guides/dcr-street-sweeping includes individual maps of many of them that allow parking and https://www.mass.gov/service-details/dcr-winter-storm-plan-and-priority-map may be a more comprehensive list.

Maybe there's a way to narrow them down.

Double no.

Why no? I don't see the major DCR parkways as being particularly different from the unsigned NY parkways.

Significance. Should one need to drive all these roads to claim a full clinch of MA? I don't think so. As for how it's different than NY...

Most NY Parkways are actual freeways or at least expressways. Most DCR parkways are not.
Most NY Parkways are signed with shields. DCR parkways are not.

I don't see the two as being remotely comparable.
