I left work just after 6:00 yesterday (maybe 6:10 or so) but it still took me until about 6:45 to get to the gym. It’s perhaps a little over six miles and I would think that it might be possible to get there in about 20 minutes — if there wasn’t any traffic. So, I’m curious whether there might be a better way to get there. I work off of Turtle Creek & Hall and the Bally’s that I go to is at Abrams & Skillman. Here’s my current route :
- Starting from work, go east on Hall St
- Go through a few traffic lights and then turn left (north) on McKinney
- At the next traffic light, turn right (east) on Lemmon
- Turn left to go north on 75
- Exit Northwest Hwy — East
- Take the turn-off for Skillman North
- End at the Bally's at Skillman and Abrams
I don’t see much room for improvement, for the most part, but I’m wondering about that Lemmon-to-75 stretch. Of course, Lemmon connects with 75, but it really just goes onto the service road; then, you actually have to go north on the service road to Blackburn which then has a proper on-ramp to 75. Would it be faster to drive further while I’m on McKinney and only turn right once I reach Blackburn?
you seem mainly to be asking if your current way or going McKinnley-to-Blackburn is faster. you could just try each way five times and time it. The averages should reflect fairly accurately which is faster.
What about taking Hall to Ross to Live Oak to Skillman?
Leia: Oh, you mean bypassing 75 entirely? Yeah, that might be worth a try.
