There is an alternate route that avoids the farms and is about 12 miles but involves a lot of roads with lower speed limits and more traffic lights.

Neither is ideal but I usually take the stanky route because it's quicker and not too stanky. It leaves me time to pop in at the store and grab a coffee and muffin if I am so inclined.

The scenic route is well and good if I leave a few minutes early in the morning and the congested part is not yet congested because I get in to my office at 7 am. Evenings the congested part is actually congested so I stay away.
