Ha! I used to do the opposite commute. Falls of Neuse & I-540 to Tryon Rd. & US-1. It was a minimum of 35 minutes, but more often 40-50 minutes. I used to listen to some of the MIT Open Courseware lectures during the drive until I realized I was paying more attention to it instead of my driving, and had to stop.
One of the things that Raleigh & Wake County has really done well is create the network of greenway trails. If it works for you, it's entirely possible to use them to commute on a bike.
- eitally 10y agoYou're 100% right --> the commute westward on 540 (from N. Raleigh toward RTP) and the commute eastward on 40/440 (toward Raleigh) are much worse. It's even getting bad around the south side with all the growth around Garner the past few years. We lived in Cary & worked in RTP so didn't really ever have any commute problems.
