Unfortunately unless you can change your hours or get a nice flying bicycle like they had on Futurama I'd cave and say MaxiScooter or drive it in unless your fortunate like some to pick your jobs as you wish. At least you’ll have to do that until you get all the government departments and road users to change. Adjusting the transportation facilities, their attitude and enforcement.
I hit the same wall this weekend. My wife and I tried to go to the Doggie Park to check it out. It was about 10 miles away along route 1830 here in North Texas. We'd just moved here recently so what did we know.

Argh.. The first 500ft were ok but then it's 2 lanes with a 60mph speed limit, blind corners, rolling blind hills with barely enough road for vehicle traffic and lots of dangerous road/bridge interfaces. We made the ride hoping it would get better around the next bend but overall it was horrible. The dog park is nice and unless we take the interstate the only other road is under a foot or so of water.
The ride back was probably worse because we knew it didn't get better. Mind you this was on a Sunday afternoon so traffic wasn't very busy. I imagine during rush hour it would be completely impassable.
