One ridiculous tie-up on Page after another. Argh! Is this because it's WINDY?
| Timing of lites bad on Page from Lindbergh to Warson. Grrr. |
|
| If only every drive to work could be like today's drive to work. |
|
| 6:40pm, enormous back up on 44wb near Elm. Fabulous. And my 1st attempt on this route home. |
|
| Wife reports 25min from Powell Hall to 141 on 44. I'll try that route tonight. But my guess? 40min from the office to home. |
|
| Was gonna try 44 home, but crazy downtown traffic to the Hannah Montana concert sent me back to the regular route. Sheesh. |
|
| Page, with fewer lites this a.m. Still took 40 min. to get to work. Realizing that 40 min is the now the magic number. *sigh* |
|
| From 170: Page/Bennington/FeeFee to Olive - 16 traffic lites. Stopped by only one tonite. 33% reduction in lites vs Olive to 170. A winner? |
|
| 24 traffic lights, Fee Fee to 170 on Olive. Got stopped by only 2. Leaving at 9a was great. Next: Counting lights on Page. |
|
| wow. Does Olive always suck this bad at 5:30? A parking lot since FeeFee both ways and i'm going east! |
|
| New route to Ellisville (44/Big Bend/New Ballwin/Kiefer Creek) wasn't any faster, but more interesting. |

|
| In a little while, trying new route from downtown to choir practice in Ellisville. Thanks, @eatants2! Wish me luck. |
|
| First glitch: Un-ID'd backup just west of 170 on Olive. No problem. U-turn, 170 to Page. I think there might be fewer lites on Page anyway. |
|
| Counted 4 McDonald's on my drive this morning; 6 grocers; 11 churches; 23 banks. Had to do something to kill 39 minutes. |
|
| Impressive how well the lights are timed on Olive. Only stopped four times. |
|
| Hey, Xtera w/Calif plates on Olive: I hit Mason at the same time as you, and didn't have to tailgate everyone. Jerk. |
|
| I honestly cannot believe how easy my commute is today. http://tinyurl.com/28273d |
|
| Take that back: Clayton@Lindbergh was a breeze-and the former 40/Lndbgh overpass is abuzz w/activity. NOW, we're seeing some serious work. |
|
| Hmm. Clayton at Ballas is a lot busier as cars line up to head north...to 40. Seems to be backing up way before Lindbergh too. |
