Can take as little as a half hour (zero traffic)... Or as much as an hour 20. And good luck predicting exactly how bad it will be at any given day/time! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] mitch@piefed.mitch.science 1 point 1 year ago that was my experience when I lived in Minneapolis. when there was zero traffic and in the summer, you could get from any place in town to any other place in between 15-20 minutes. snarled traffic was rare because there were so many additional terrestrial roads to take the burnt. Contrast that with living in Philly, and we have a highway (676) that is so jammed all the time that the exits are measured on signage in fractions. permalink fedilink source parent
