I'm lucky I have a few miles of crushed limestone trail to commute home. I leave at 4:15am to work and there isn't any traffic to speak of. Mostly neighborhood streets on my way to work (almost no traffic) and neighborhood/trail/park roads on my way home. A very nice commute.
That said, everywhere else I go...to the grocery store, hardware store, etc, is heave traffic. Mostly it doesn't bother me. I'm used to it for the most part. I just have to be more careful.
