I agree with grandparent. It's rude to cut through residential streets just to bypass traffic. Residential streets are there to support the activity of those residents, which includes getting to and from their homes, walking across the street to talk to a neighbor, leading normal healthy lives including allowing children to use the street to play or ride bikes. There are other streets designed to carry traffic. If there is a lot of traffic, you need to wait in line like everyone else. If you need to get somewhere on time, leave early to avoid traffic.
