Commutting from Downtown??? (Houston, Pearland, Dickinson: living in, relocating to, reverse commute)

[jptx]

I may be relocating to Houston in the near future and have dcecided that living inside the loop is the place for me. I am a field rep so I typically drive somewhere different in the city every day, most of my accounts would be south and southwest of town (Pearland, Sugarland, Dickinson, Clear Lake, etc.). Do you think I would get any of the reverse traffic relief living inside the loop?

Thanks

you should check Houston TranStar Real-Time Traffic Map
look in the historical data links and see how things are for your commute times. I know that 59 between polk and galleria gets backed up even in reverse commute directions. maybe you should stay south of that section

Great site, thanks

I do the reverse commute from inside the loop north and that is always a pretty easy drive. Going south one might hit a few more snags though.

Reverse commute is sweet, midtown, heights, montrose are good places
