As far as traffic goes, am I the only one who remembers when it took almost 2 hours to drive from the Bourne Bridge to the Elks in Wareham on a Sunday evening in summer? Before 25 was finished all the way to the bridge.
The Lower Cape is just experiencing what we've always known around here.
Take a rainy weekday and 132 would be backed up from the mall to Rte 6. That was always the case since they built the mall.

Exactly. In the late 50's, through the 60's and into the 70's winter was dead (I remember going into Flemings donuts in Orleans and the woman there had 6 donuts, one pot of coffee and no heat on on a Sunday while we were ice fishing. She didn't sell all the other donuts, she only had six to begin with! but I digress)
Summer had traffic jams. Overcast July day trying to cross the Bass River Bridge was just as crowded then as now. Same with P-Town traffic. Or Hyannis before the mall. Coming from Worcester to the Cape was an experience. Get of Rt. 140 In New Bedford (pre 195 and 495 to 25 days) and sit in traffic on a Saturday for 2 hours to cover the distance to the Bridges. Always been busy in Summer.
