I drove North a few miles to an after work meeting this afternoon. Google Maps showed an accident and traffic jam on the highway. Whenever that happens the two next alternate surface streets it suggests also jam.

Then I remembered some residential and access streets I used to ride before Colorado Springs added its newer MUPs. Sure enough, it was clear sailing. And while the speed limits varied from 30 to 40mph, I beat the estimated Google Maps time. I even had periodic views of the slower highway traffic inching along. Not only that, there was the nostalgia factor of the old routes.
