If you're in traffic, you'll still get side-spray from cars. You'll need rainpants that cover the top of your shoe *WHILE* pedaling. Most rain pants are TOO short. So you may need an extra gaitor to cover the sock area. And a waterproof shoe or bootie.
I added a gaitor to the waterproof cycling shoe, now I arrive at work dry. Before, I'd get so wet that the shoes and socks wouldn't dry in time for the return trip.
