The only time I ever got to work over 60 minutes was when there was a horrible accident on I-275. What route are you taking that it is taking you 90 minutes?

For many exaggeration has become a way on here to make thier point.

Why not just say: Do you really want to make that commute as it could be upwards of an hour during peak periods?

People come on here to get information and it doesn't help when something so off gets posted and the follow on posts turn into calling out the bad posts.

See this too much lately. Is frustrating and yes, I need to police myself so I don't do it as well.

I am communiting from the same area in the same direction on daily basis and know about traffic well enough.
I drive either on St. Rd. 54 to I-75 or from St. RD 56 to I-75 daily and never ever had a traffic jam over there at any time that is causing major delay.

One time we were stuck on I-75 past St. Rd 56 due to a car on fire but that is not a daile or weekly thing and we turned around and took St. Rd 56 on i-75 and drove back home.

Well, I am driving the same direction every day too around 7am and I have different experience If I leave before 7am or after 9am it's a different story. Go figure. That's why I asked before what is considered to be a morning

I don't want to argue with you and perhaps there is something else causing you to be the only one who claims it to be 90 min...
