About 30 miles. But most of it is on an interstate highway...actual travel time, depending on traffic, about 35 minutes. Really, not too bad. I just wish the pay was about a third more than it is.

6.2 miles.

No commute to work. I work from home. But school on the other hand I drive 20 miles.

Trams, that counts!

45 miles of two lane road through the northern Ozarks. Would be about 15 if somebody hadn't decided to dam the Osage river around 1930...

Fifteen minutes from midtown Memphis to downtown Memphis. Half the route is a lovely 1920s residential boulevard and the other half is a mess, but it's an easy drive.

I can walk out my front door fifteen minutes before my shift starts, and be on time.

Now, at my new place in New Hampshire, I'm 33 miles from the job. When I timed it, going slow and taking the slow route, it took 50 minutes. I'll be giving myself an hour at first, adjusting it as I need to for the seasons.

Blessed that DH and I are both within 2 miles of work from our home. Found our place long before we had our jobs, too.

Mine can be either neighborhoods circa 1990's, and concrete strip malls (the quicker route) or a country road with horses, a church, and an historic Main St. circa 1800's. Several original structures from the late 1800's still exist today and make up a shopping/ small business area, restaurants/ antiques etc. We sit along Boone's Lick Rd. (the road Daniel Boone who lived 13 miles away would take to get his salt from Colombia MO) The area was settled in 1541 as a Spanish territory, and used for everything from trapping lands to a civil war recruitment fort.

I love my drive home (usually I take the quick route in the morning, and the scenic route in the evening), and I love my afternoon runs through this area.

Same here, Rube, the distance and time are about the same for me either way - I can take the highway and look at corn and bean fields, or I can take the country route and look at horses, farms, and corn and beans.  I prefer the country route.

My drive varies from 11 to 150 miles (depends on where I'm going that day -- I'm a sales rep).
