Highways Where the Quickest Way to Travel Between Endpoints is to Turn Off

[dantheman]

I was thinking about this the other day. Which highways (and I'll bring up 2dis) would it be faster to exit or turn off of and take a different road in order to go from one terminus to the other? I think we've had similar topics, but not exactly this (at least from what I could find from a search). This is assuming normal traffic.

Depending on your definition of "normal traffic," there are two ways that leaving I-93 is better than staying on it: 1) taking I-95 between Canton and Woburn, MA, and 2) taking I-95 and US 3 between Canton, MA and just north of Manchester, NH. The I-95/US 3 route is within a mile of I-93's distance, and I-95 to Woburn is a little under two miles longer; traffic jams between Quincy and Boston on 93, plus the lower speed limits on 93 through downtown Boston, make either of the alternate routes better during most hours of the day.
