So what is the traffic like in Austin??


Phoenix sucks balls... I hope this isnt going to be the same...

whatever you do don't take IH-35. unless you want to be stuck in a parking lot all day.

Hopefully I will be working from home if all plans fall into place correctly..


But thanks for the info

Our traffic is bad. But when compared to Phoenix I can't help but chuckle and know we have it so much better. Nevermind Los Angeles -- nothing like 3 hour transits to work!

Secondeded on the IH35 sentiment. Mopac and the new toll roads = win.

Or being on Mopac between the hours of 7am - 9am and 4:30 - 7pm. IH-35 is the worst though.

Werd I will make sure to keep this all in mind..

Phoenix sucks.. BAD... But it is definitely better then LA... I drive around 13 miles to work and sometimes it will take me 45 min to get home or to work... wtf

haha

I drive 7 miles to work -- sometimes it takes me 45 minutes. Sometimes it takes 5 minutes. I have about 8 lights between me and my workplace. Fucking Parmer.

and it takes me about 45 minutes from south austin to drive to the same place on mopac. it really just depends.

I work at 360 & 2222, and live about...well I don't know how many miles 'cause I'm kinda homelessish right now, but I do know that when I get a permanent living situation, I'm going to keep it where I hit the traffic-less side to work, and the traffic-less side home.


Plus there are about 4857 ways to get to each place you wanna get to in Austin, so no matter where you live, there's a traffic free way to go.


I'm hungry.

Hmmm... I guess I am going to have to get a lost a couple times before I figure out my way around... lol

Woot

I still get lost places.

There are tips.

If you can find Lamar, you can get anywhere.

360, Capital of TX Hwy = same road

183, Research Blvd = Same road

Loop 1, Mopac = Same road

You rock

Also something you should remember. *nod*

Heh... I will keep that in mind then..

I think the best way to describe Austin's roads, they were built by a drunk man.

san antonio was designed by drunk people.

i rock 183 everywhere. it hits right by my apt and i can take it all the way from montopolis to mopac pretty quick.

Werd, thanks Shane :)

I'm of the opinion that TXDOT hired kindygarteners to plan the roads in SA. Along with the times they schedule for construction and whatnot.

That sounds just like me going to and from work...I'll catch you in traffic sometime, you can pass the blunt this way please.

ha yeah 183 is great. i'll deal with the 3 or so stop lights over the parking lot that is i35 anyday.

plus its fun driving through the ghetto on the way home down montopolis. once i saw a donkey tied up at the end of someone's driveway.

For some reason, that does not surprise me...

i had a 15 mile commute to work downtown from north austin when i lived there. it took 45 minutes to get there and 45 minutes to get home.

traffic in austin BLOWS. people in ann arbor always complain about the traffic here and i just tell them that they have no idea. it's NOTHING compared to austin.

also, 18 wheelers are not allowed on mopac. :)

Austin was constructed a bajillion times better than Dallas, Houston or San Antonio. San Antonio's roads are like a crack whore after a month long binge... that shit needs to be re-laid.

Damn all this talk about shitty roads makes me skeptical.. Even though the traffic in Phoenix is bad.. We have one of the best freeway systems in the US...
