Are you ever stuck in traffic?

I've been using traffic.com for almost a year, and the site is a great time saver. You create a free account, and setup your driving route(s). Everyone should at least enter work-home route, and if incidents occur, you receive email alerts letting you know how slow the commute will be. As a trouble spot gets worse, more frequent emails arrive, letting you know the severity of the delay. It's saved me a few times just before driving home, alerting me to find another route. One night I didn't "listen" to my alert, and sure enough I was stuck in a bad jam due to an accident. I also have my work-golf route setup, and it only is set to alert on Thursdays for golf night. Give it a try, it's easy and best of all, FREE!
