I live in Houston. My commute home (from up on North Loop West, to near Gessner/Westheimer) takes a minimum of 30 minutes even if I leave at 6-6:30pm. Total distance? ~11 miles.

Here's the data from my Automatic Pro GPS OBD2 dongle, on a "good day":

World's largest highway system (28 lanes at some points), yet still the second most congested.

That 28-lane part (BW8/I10 intersection and around it) is just 2-3 miles from my house.. fortunately my commute doesn't go anywhere near it (in the other direction, actually).

I do have to deal with the 59/610 interchange, which they're getting ready to re-do in the next few years.. the detour/re-route for that project is going to cause hell for quite a lot of people.
