If I avoided interstate travel for my trip, I would be left with a drive that would encompass more traffic, more miles, and add about 1 hour each way per direction. I cannot move closer, as we're in a market where it's near to impossible to sell a house. The only way to reasonably get to work on time is to take the interstate. The limits for the majority of the trip (I40 between Benson and Durham) are 65 MPH. NC law dictates that the minimum limit is 45. I usually travel at 55, and I've yet to impede any traffic in the past month and a half.
