It has been my observation that the majority of cars backed up on Lincoln Rd, from the 5-way intersection to Lincoln Station, are not related to school drop off, but are commuters passing through our institutional corridor. In the afternoon the line along Bedford Rd from the 5 way intersection effectively crosses Rt2 all the way to Rt 2A on some days.
