I most often go two miles further to take the Greenway, which is a sliver of forest running eight miles alongside a creek. The contrast with the manic traffic route a few hundred yards away is amazing, especially in the mornings when I'll encounter more deer than people. I only take two other routes, plus a rare third for greater distance and more hills and they all involve fast, heavy traffic. I think if there were ways through more quiet neighborhoods that would be my priority over the faster streets, just to be able to relax a bit more.
