Paula Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 I usually try to avoid the xpreswy in buffalo, this year I am thinking different. So how bad is the traffic about 7am? Think in a way that a nervous person might think lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 More information needed.......... Are you running the 90 from the Rochester area and going west to the PA line? Piece of cake at 7am on a week day and a whole cake on the weekend. Talk to me Goose................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 Yes I would be going in to Pittsburgh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephmrtn Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 im sure you can do it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Paula, Unless there's a wreck or severe weather you should have no slow downs at all. Takes me 30 min to drive from exit 57 to 50 each morning. Traffic seems to flow well in either direction. With college out now there's less traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Yes I would be going in to Pittsburgh Easy deal. As stated earlier, sans an accident you HAVE to go this way. It'll save you a ton of time. Good luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Thanks guys. I think it would save me a lot instead of going into Arcade then Erie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wooly Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Should be an easy commute at 7am heading 90 west bound. Give yourself an extra 1/2 hour head start just in case there's a fender bender heading into the city. "Rubber-neckers" going your way will slow you down gawking at the train wrecks going the other way. Avoid the "Big Blue Water Tower" merge at all cost.....

Lawdwaz Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 No way to avoid the blue water tower merge. That will be just after she pays her toll at the Williamsville toll both and then the 90 is toll free until you hit the next section in 7-10 miles or so. Then she'll grab another ticket and head on down to Erie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 ohh noo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 ohh noo What? There's nothing to it, especially at 7:00am. You have no worries.......... You'd be nuts to take Rt 39 across to the 90, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landtracdeerhunter Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) We saw a person on a Indain 250 , on the 90 around Leroy yesterday. He was weaving and seemed to be severely under powered. On our way back from the Garlic Festival at the Fox Run Vineyards on Seneca Lake.

Paula Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Mmm Garlic! So he was weaving but not fast? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 So for what ever reason I got home Monday and I canceled my motel and decided to head right to Carolina Beach. Virginia traffic is freaking crazy! I know now I can handle Buffalos. I am about 75 miles from Richmond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Man Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Why not 390 to 86west to 90 west, it connects in pa and there is no traffic any time and no tolls? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnhu Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Paula, I only got one advice for you, EZ Pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 I didn't check out your way bit I wanted to save time and miles. Where would I put expands on my bike. Wish I could post a pic.

Lawdwaz Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Why not 390 to 86west to 90 west, it connects in pa and there is no traffic any time and no tolls? She might not want to rattle her teeth or risk a breakdown in the territory.............. Hard to beat the 90 for smooth & fast even if it costs a few bucks. YMMV.

Lawdwaz Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Paula, I only got one advice for you, EZ Pass. I get the feeling she doesn't travel the 90 often enough to warrant it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
