There Is More Than One Way Home

Many workers commute driving their own cars to and from work. It's the way of life. Anyone who says they enjoy commuting is lying. Nobody doesn't want to drive five days a week regardless of distance and time. They sit down on a seat with very little physical movement and using their brain power to concentrate on the road. They want to drive as little as possible to put less strain and minimize the mileage on the car. They pray to avoid being the car on the news' accident traffic reports and killed by a reckless driver. And they don't want to arrive to work late to avoid confrontation with the manager for which he or she probably doesn't care.

Commuters must know more than one route to and from work. If there's an accident, an emergency road closure, or power outage affecting signal intersections, then knowing another route can avoid agitation, anxiety, or anger. I know four routes to and from work. Some of the routes include stores, banks, and gas stations to run errands on my way home. All four routes include freeways. There is a fifth route to avoid all freeways in case of a massive traffic jam. One freeway accident can affect multiple freeways in my city.
