Road conditions / surfaces: Generally well paved; only a few stretches with potholes. Most of the route has wide paved shoulders.
Traffic: My working hours are highly irregular, so traffic intensity varies a lot, but even rush hour isn't all that bad. Traffic jams do not exist around here.
Environment: Major suburban/semi-rural roads. 7 traffic lights on the way there, 8 on the way back. The environment is typical "rural being swallowed up by suburban sprawl": industrial areas and big-box retail mixed in with farmers' fields and pockets of nature...
A while back I posted to this Living Car Free thread,

Here’s my parochial (North American) list, off the top of my head, roughly in amount of time spent there.
- Metropolitan Boston: premier (if you know your way around)…
- Charlottesville, PEI: don’t remember much, but was low traffic
I do remember Charlottesville was easy to enter (circa 1983)
