Traffic Patterns

Drive Home

Did you ever notice, on your routine drive to work, that there is a 'sweet spot' of time that gets you to work in the shortest time with the least amount of traffic?  For me, it's about 6:40 AM.  Most times, if I get on the road then, I can make it into the office in about 25 minutes.  I am about 19 miles away, traveling on I-95, so that's a pretty nice ride.

But, if I leave the house at 6:45--forget it.  The ride could be 45 to 50 minutes.  There are routes I can take to the office that keep me off I-95, and while a more scenic drive because they take me along the beaches of Long Island Sound it is a solid 45 minute drive when I am off  the freeway.

Going home in the afternoon, it is usually a 45 to 50 minute drive, which is why I am writing this BLOG today.  It is going to be about 5:05 PM as I leave the office today... let's see how long it takes me to get home.

I'll let you know!

Home now... 38 minutes!  Nice!
