Arapahoe Rd does have traffic. You will have to sit at probably 2 or 3 lights but even then, the heaviest traffic I've been in was when it goes 40 mph and the speed limit is 50. If you're still moving, it's not "brutal"...at least not to me. Obviously a car accident or a stalled car will cause another headache, but I'm just talking about day-to-day travel on that road during "rush hour."

Ok its not 10-20 minutes of standstill (I don't know of anywhere in Denver that is that bad). But traffic heading out of the tech center backs up from Parker to Peoria and sometimes Lima. Its not at a standstill but it is slow. I leave the office at 5p and its what I see.

I-25 from 120th southward.
I-225 from Parker southward.

How about Floyd Hill in any weather, C-470 going into the sun, I-25 county line to University north in the morning, Colorado to 1-70 in the evening.

I commuted that route for a few months....stand still is not how I would describe it (short of an accident).
