A question about this place:
I'm driving from Boston to Barnstable for just a day trip this Friday. How early should I leave? In which areas will I encounter traffic? Travel guides say the trip is about 1.5 hours - is this accurate?

Any time before the afternoon should be fine and the driving time is 1.5 hours. I’ve done it in 1.25 but that’s at about 80 the whole way.

You should certainly leave before 3pm on Friday. Friday traffic starts very early down route 3 between Boston and the Cape. Better to leave early or wait until after 7:30pm than to leave during a Friday rush hour.
