I can't imagine having a longer, road-based commute. I'm sure it would be a daily occurrence.
I'm almost the same as you, I have about 2 blocks of shared road, then a while on dedicated bike paths, and then about 4 blocks of share road again.

~6 blocks and it's an occurrence per day. Still thankful of the paths!! The occurrences used to be even worse.
