90 mins. I work in Virginia. According to a news item on NPR this week I'm a mega-commuter and form part of the 1%... of commuters who travel for 90 mins or more one way. Yay me.
My condolences! At least the construction finished on 147 finished - that added a new layer of hell, especially when they'd start closing down a lane at 8:45AM.
Yep I'm actively applying for jobs closer to home right now. It was okay before but now that I have a baby to pick up from daycare in the mix it's become unbearable. I'd love to find a job that could allow me to telecommute part of the week but I know those aren't the easiest to come by in my field. I will miss swinging by Loaf for a croissant when I do find a job near me!
It used to take me an hour to drive from N Raleigh to Chapel Hill (ten years ago). Have things changed? I remember I-40 was like a parking lot just about the entire way during rush hour. Even driving from one side of Raleigh to the other could take an hour depending on traffic, back then...

+1 be cause I still haven't found a job here since my wife did last June. Didn't know we had a label lol.
Knightdale via 540 to downtown Durham, 40 minutes. Unless it's raining and ppl drive mostly 30 mph (aargh), or there's a wreck, and that could add 10 mins. Most days it's 40 mins. going and 35 mins. return trip if I leave at 4pm and take advantage of the new speed limit
Live in 27712 (NW Durham) and commute to RTP (near Alexander & 54) takes 18-20 minutes. Average for ZIP is 23.5 minutes.
When I lived in 27614 (N. Raleigh - Falls River) and commuted to the same area in RTP it took anwhere from 30-45 minutes depending on traffic, averaging about 35. Average commute for 27614 is 25.4 minutes.
Compared to the map, my husband and I average out to a little less than what the map says for Holly Springs - I have a 12 minute commute, he has 34, so we average to 24 minutes, whereas the map shows 29.9. However, I imagine this data was gathered before the new 540 opened, so that might change a lot of the commute times for Holly Springs.
Wishing I could add myself to the "work from home" crew, but still haven't figured out how to make that a reality!
