I live in a subdivison right off of Stuebner-Airline, and have no other way in or out of the subdivision. Stuebner-Airline is not that bad, except for rush-hour. I ride parts of it every day (north-side of Louetta). There are other roads around here that are far worse (Spring-Cypress comes to mind).
