Keep your motorhome out on 495 an as others have said use your toad or public transport.
I95 through Boston is not a nice place to be with your car most times let alone a big rig. I was driving (crawling) along one day, late afternoon when I started to notice signage about it being illegal to drive on the shoulder. As I passed more of these signs I noted they had an "EXCEPT" clause. Apparently it is legal to pass on the shoulder between the hours of 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM (times might be 3 to 7 but you get the drift)
Sure enough the proscribed time arrives and all of a sudden cars start pulling over to the right side shoulder and passing on the right. During the legal time the shoulder becomes the express lane! This includes across overpasses, cutting across both entry and exit ramps where they meet the highway and if the shoulder narrows the drivers just move left without even a glance.
Reminds one of a giant demolition derby where you seem to be the only driver even remotely concerned about not banging up your car!
