True, I could avoid that stretch. I actually use it as a cut through to get off a busy main road faster, but some morning there are angry, aggressive mothers at the wheel trying to get to school.
I can't complain though, as most of my work commute is on a MUP. My city is just going through an insane population/building jump so the roads have gotten much, much busier in like 6-8 months. It's really mind blowing.
