I commuted to downtown Milwaukee for 5 years and hit every hour of rush hour. If there isn’t an accident, the worst I’ve been delayed maybe was 20 minutes on a 35 minute drive. It really isn’t that bad. And it’s getting better as the freeways get redone. Too bad they had to kick that can down the road so long and put it off so long. Should be done with already but still got a couple years to go.
Chicago sucks but like you said, if you time it right, it’s not bad. If you aim to get to whatever public you are hunting in Wisconsin by 6am and drive through the night, you won’t hit any traffic that would be considered bad. Unless there is construction.
