Introduction

Imagine that you are moving to one side of a major city, but your job is

on the opposite side. Sometimes, the job requires you to travel to various

locations around the city or even another location within the state. Access

to highways and airports is important.

If faced with this scenario, what criteria might you consider regarding a

potential commute?

• Is there quick access to at least one major highway?

Highways generally provide faster routes than city streets with

traffic lights.

• Do multiple routes exist from your home to the office?

If a wreck occurs and blocks one route, another route would be

helpful.
