My commute recently changed and I'm concerned it's more dangerous now than before, but because of many variables, I'm not sure.
I have two options from where I am living now and I'm hoping you can help me pick the safest option.
The shorter commute is 27.9 miles, each way, but it is all with facing traffic, with just a painted line in between (A good stretch of it is 55mph).
The longer option is 32.1 miles, each way, but it includes a highway with no on coming traffic (19.2 miles worth), but 65 mph+ speeds.
So I could drive more miles per year (about 1974 miles), but have a lot of it with non facing traffic. Is it worth the more mileage and faster speed to avoid the on coming traffic?
