What's it like heading north from 38th Street to Mopac & 183 around 7-8 am? And coming back around 5-630 pm?

Also, would the traffic be any better on surface streets such as Lamar Blvd or Burnet Road?

Thanks.

You're going against traffic for the most part, esp in the morning. In the afternoon it might start to back up around 2222/Koenig, but you will only have two more exits to go. You could always exit at Koenig and go down ShoalCreek Blvd.

All in all not a bad commute.

EASY commute, take Guadalupe to 45th cut across to Shoal Creek and head north.
