[TriLUG] OT: your RTP commute? my office is relocating to RTPfrom Cary

[Len Boyle]

Hello David 

I can not give you direct information about your route. But I can give you the information on mine which is from the dmz between Cary, Apex, and Holly Springs. Just south of 1010 to Cary. 
It seems the windows of low traffic are 8am 8:15-8:20(the window move a little bit day to day) and  9:30. I have traveled to rtp for a few meetings and it does seem that leaving Cary at 8 and heading west on I40 is doable. 

So the safe times are before 7 and after 9:30. In the evening it is before 5 and after 6:30pm. 

I believe that the I40 traffic follows similar patterns but the evening flow might remain heavy a little bit longer. 

It might be easiest to move your start and end times to a later period of time.

I currently reside near Gorman/Tryon for those curious with a similar route.  I'd really hate to relocate.  My condo mortgage is dirt cheap and I've invested some energy and $$ customizing it, taking away the plain builder ugly, making it HGTV spectacular!  :)

I've also looked at Tryon > 64W > 55N, but it seems a bit out of my way, certainly better than 40.  What's more, if I'm going to head down around that way, I might as well put 540 and tolls in the forefront of thought... not a good idea, thus why some of us are spearheading an attempt to get the public involved.  Carpooling is another potentially good idea.  It is a shame the TTA couldn't get things straight and get the regional rail project underway, I'd ride that to this new location from NCSU daily and love it!!  *sigh*

I'll definitely be able to join some folks for lunch who I currently cannot!  :)  I hope the cheesesteak at Randy's Pizza is as good as I remember 4 years ago.

thanks everyone,
David
