Yeah, it takes me 35-40 to get to work and 45-50 to get home. I only go out for lunch once a week and it's walking distance. That afternoon traffic is starting to get to me.

I take surface streets to work, the 202 and 101 are parking lots by 06:30. I take the freeways home, which shaves a good 10-15 minutes most days.

I hit the HOV, but it's crazy. No side streets for me. It's either bee line to the 202 to 101 or Shea to the 101 to get there and the reverse to go home.

You don't have many options where you live. There's only a couple roads out of Fountain Hills, and you either have to go through the rez or through Scottsdale.
