    10 miles and 7 stop lights. There’s almost as many stop signs. When I’m lucky it takes about 18 mins. When my luck runs out, it’s like 25 mins.

    My current commute is already stressful to me. I’d need prescription pharmaceuticals to get through your commute, OP.

    OP sounds like your job location sucks and is worst from everyone. Get a new job or move.

    10 traffic signals, 7 miles.
    About half of them don't function via sensors because they're busted. So at 5 in the morning with no traffic, I'm still getting caught by them.

    1 light to my office to the south 40 mile drive..15 lights to my north office 20 mile drive. I work all over northern ca so I’m usually out meeting clients so it all varies. I have 90,000 miles on my 2019 car to put how much I drive for work into perspective. I love to drive, so having my tuned 600hp M4 MT as my work car makes my job fun as fuxk, regardless of stop lights

    If I ever got on a skateboard my next commute would be to the ER!:bananadead:

    11 miles to work including 10 stop signs and 3 traffic lights.

    The first 3 miles is dirt and can include 18" of snow, the occasional down tree (tow strap moves them), washouts, flooding, uncounted deer, sometimes a bear, cows, fox, porcupine, rabbits with a death wish -- all sorts of wildlife.

    I just mentally added up every light in our whole town, on every street...15.
    Oh, and before retirement I had zero lights on my 7 mile commute to work.

    About 110 miles each way and I think 12 lights not too sure about lights as I change my work location often. I hate commuting.

    SSO hybrid bumper, Warn winch, RCI skid trilogy, RRW sliders, everything in the cheap/free mods thread, and of course the frame recall work.
    9 on a 9 mile commute, most are bunched up in one spot at the freeway offramp.

    Would it save you a lot of time by pulling over and waiting to catch the green cycle, or does traffic play a huge part of this?
