Going to Stoneham for kid's soccer game

Looks like a nice day. I am thinking about how screwed up the signage and traffic-handling mechanisms are in much of New England but particularly Lowell, Massachusetts. Just the route to this spot from my house throws you into a roundabout with two lanes (unmarked), a street that narrows into only one lane with a warning sign about 15 feet ahead of the narrowing, and at least three turn-only lanes that may have once been marked. With the son right now, who has his nose in a book and periodically tells me jokes (What kind of a street do ghosts like the most? A dead end.) or quizzes me (what's the biggest arthropod?). Pretty good energy, but not particularly happy.
