Centre Street in Boston. Amusingly enough, this video starts a stone's throw away from a major transit hub connecting three commuter rail lines to the T.
And worth noting, it looks like this backup is almost entirely caused by the reduction to one lane at the Allandale Street intersection due to construction.
Lane reductions are a cause of traffic. The construction causes a bottleneck behind it because traffic before the reduction moves faster.
If we removed all lane reductions it would fix traffic. Simple solution. Make every road have only a single lane for cars in each direction. Solves the problem.
