Here’s Where Boston, MA Lands on the Top 20 Road Rage Cities List

Raise your hand if you're surprised that Boston has road rage issues.

I'm guessing no one has their hand up, especially if you've lived in New England for any length of time and lived or been to Boston. It doesn't matter if you're driving yourself, using a car service, taking a taxi, or being a passenger; you've wanted to pull your hair out and even scream.

According to CNN Health, road rage incidents have surged 500% in the United States since 2016, and maybe you've been part of that statistic, even if it was just flipping someone off on 95 or trying to park in the North End.

Some cities are worse than others, and it shouldn't be too surprising that larger cities with more traffic, like Boston, reign supreme on this list.

According to the Angel Reyes and Associates website, Boston didn't top the list but did make the top 10.

Aggressive or violent motorists range from verbal insults to physical violence. Road rage isn't always caused by another person, either. It can simply build up because of weather, traffic, construction, or anxiety level at the time because of things going on in life.
