from 206 by the Tiger's Tale, west on 518 to hollow rd on the right


hollow road to end, immediate right onto long hill rd


right onto zion rd to 514 3 way stop, right, immediate left onto cr 567


right onto opie rd which becomes river road and dumps you on 1st ave in raritan.


follow that across rt 202 to rt 22


east on 22 to corporate complex


Hey, that's just me. Not sure how long it will take but the time will be consistent each day. might hit some traffic at 1st ave for a short stretch thru Raritan.

Just give yourself an hour to get to work and an hour to get back.
Even if you are a magician it will still take you the same amount of time.

What you can do is experiment with various roads to the point that you will have a favorite and several alternates.

Particularly around the rivers and bridges sometimes they can flood after heavy rains so you might have to stay on one side of the river or the other etc.

Probably staying off US206 will cut down on annoying traffic lights and general traffic. I mostly took back roads when I drove that way. Avoid speeding too much because often you come across deer and need to stop in time especially in the fall, October, November and also keep the points off your license and your insurance costs low.

The most you can do is make the drive pleasant and enjoyable for yourself but you are not magically going to shorten the time much. Enjoy it.

That depends on your work hours and setup.
Decades ago I drove from upper Morris County down towards the RCA buildings near Princeton or Plainsboro and used to do something like a 11A to 7PM. Our office handled phone calls from all over the US and elsewhere so I had a lot of the West Coast phone calls since they are 3 hours behind.

Yes - if you could work something like 7-4, you might trim at least 10 minutes off your ride each way.

Oh, did you have some other way to fit in a full work day and leave before evening rush???

It's your choice:

(1) travel off-peak
(2) move closer

There is no "secret" route that will let you avoid traffic in that area in peak times.
