Traffic is slowly getting worse. It takes me anywhere from 15-30 minutes to get to work from the far SW Corner of the city to Campus every morning.

It totally depends on how many lights I hit on the free way. Ya thats right, we have lights on the free way, figure that out for me.

If you rented on the east side of the river or in the City Park area it would take you about 5 minutes to get to campus. But if you go out to Willowgrove, Stonebridge, or any of the newer developments your time will be anywhere from 15-30 as well, even though its about 1/3 the distance I travel.

Traffic east going west is about twice as bad as traffic going west to east. Thats a good rule of thumb to remember when trying to figure out distance and time.

Keep in mind, it used to take me 15 minutes to get there via the through city route 6 years ago, it now takes me 30-40 in the mornings, which is why I switched to the freeway.
