This
route is designed to provide a safe, sane, and less congested
route to Cape Cod. Except for the deck around the bridges
(which you cannot avoid), it's the best way to get down
there.

Road Quality:
|
|
Mostly
fine secondary roads, with stops through towns. You can
hop onto this route, if you are traveling from Boston, by
getting on Rt 138 on the Boston Milton line, and following
it down to Rt 106 East, where you can pick up on the directions.
Once you get to Orleans on the Cape, and Rts 28, 6 and 6A
merge, you'll be sitting in traffic until you get to Truro,
and you can pull off 6, when 6A appears again, to lead you
along the shore into Provincetown.

6A
on the Cape, you go through some of the prettiest, and
least touristy parts of Cape Cod. Yarmouth Port, Dennis,
and Brewster have lots of spots to stop, and shop, or
eat. If you are planning to go to Hyannis, Yarmouth, or
Chatham; stay on 6A, and connect down on one of the smaller
routes. While on the Cape, do what you can to stay off
of 6 and 28. People drive like banshees on RT 6, and Rt
28 is one big strip mall, and you'll get carpal tunnel
syndrome holding your clutch in. There's many campgrounds,
and the Cape Cod National Seashore. If you camp on the
Cape, be aware that there are tons of coyotes, especially
around the Seashore, so lock away your food.

Written
directions:
-
Star in Wayland,
MA.
-
Head South on Rt 27, keep an eye out for signs through
Sharon and Stoughton, as there are some turns made.
-
In Stoughton, turn South on Rt 138 (to avoid Brockton).
-
Take Rt 138 South through Easton, and take a left
onto Rt 106 heading East.
-
Follow 106, and turn south in West Bridgewater onto
Rt18/28.
-
Rt 28 splits off in Middleboro and you want to take
it (Rt 28) heading southeast and follow it down
to Buzzards Bay.
-
At Buzzards Bay, switch to Rt 6 heading East. This
will be your worst traffic. Cross over the Sagamore
Bridge, and then you'll enter a traffic circle (yikes!),
get off the traffic circle onto Rt6A heading east.
-
Now just stay on 6A as it takes you through Sandwich,
Yarmouth Port, and into Provincetown etc. You are
on the Cape!
