BR46 Posted July 27, 2017 Share #1 Posted July 27, 2017 When I go on line and Google has to tell me that traffic is light in my area and there's no dalays. Google hasn't figured out that I live in a town of 7,000 people traffic always light. Rush hour traffic is when cars are lined up 5 cars deep at the 4 way stop downtown and it last for a hole 8 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted July 27, 2017 Share #4 Posted July 27, 2017 1.5 hours to drive 29 miles is pretty standard now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheep_herder ★ Posted July 27, 2017 Share #6 Posted July 27, 2017 Some folks are clueless. Traffic in our town of 9,000 is ok. One can notice a difference this time of the year with increase congestion at the off ramps from the interstate. We are located on the main route headed to Yellowstone, etc., so we get a lot of tourists, and there are truck stops on both sides of the interstate.

Must be my commute is substandard - 30-35 minutes for my 28 miles including a construction zone, where it goes from three lanes to two, for a mile or so.

groupw Posted July 27, 2017 Share #11 Posted July 27, 2017 Our city is about 50,000. I work near a highway/business corridor that splits the city. It has not kept up with the growth in traffic we have seen in the last 7 years. I live 3 miles from work. It takes 15 minutes by bike. I rarely take the car during the summer months. When weather forces me to drive during the winter months, I take a 6 mile route because each of the city arteries between work and home have schools and stupid parents. I take a highway north of our place to an artery on the other side of the corridor, then route back to work. It's actually faster! ...and far less stressful!

ChrisL Posted July 27, 2017 Share #12 Posted July 27, 2017 One of the added benefits of my nes job is my commute is opposite the usual traffic flow. It's a 25 mile commute that takes me roughly 35 minutes. The worse part is the area immediately by my office. The last 2 miles in the AM and first 2 miles in the PM are tough then 70 MPH the rest of the way. I used to commute 45 miles along the dreaded 405 freeway which was tough both ways. 1.5hour morning drive, 2 hour evening drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
