Oklahoma was laid out in a one square mile grid, much like a chess board. There is one trip I made to a service provider for my business. It is pretty much south west, and I can chose a north south or a east west road and it is pretty much the same distance. Some roads are more crowded with traffic, but the roads are better, and 4 lane. Some have red lights, and some are just 4 way stops. Some go over the original Rt66, some are very wooded, and hilly and very pretty, some more industrial. I mix it up all the time, and unless I am in rush hour, it is pretty much the same time, only the view is different.

There is not one curve, all just straight roads.

So the question, which route do you take? The one that is actually faster or the one that feels faster.?

I choose whichever one I enjoy more. When I travel to the town to the NW of me, I can go via the main roads which are very much faster or, I can take a back road route over the top of a hill that is a rough surface but goes thru deep woods and is very much slower. I like the deep woods route.

I had that too.

I said to GF that it's not a race. No breaking road rules and to just drive as you normally would so she went one route and I went the other.

Yep, one was faster and easier, although it was slightly more distance.

I take the fun route. That is, the road that has less traffic and less traffic lights. I hate stress whether its personal, work or traffic. I eliminated the work one 5 years ago.
