Austin Morning Drive

According to yahoo Austin has the #4 worst morning commute in the entire country.

From Yahoo.com

#4, I-35, Austin
Weekly hours of bottleneck congestion: 460
Worst bottleneck: Northbound, Riverside Dr
Length of worst bottleneck: .92 mi
Weekly hours of congestion on worst bottleneck: 47
Speed of worst bottleneck when congested: 16.2 mph

The expert opinion: “It’s the most traveled stretch of roadway of Austin and in the state,” says Joe Taylor, traffic reporter for News 8 Austin. “It’s quirky. It was designed for a small town, and we’ve grown into a very large city.”

What is your opinion on how this effects morning drive radio. Would the numbers be different if traffic wasn't so bad? Do you think this has no effect? What are your thoughts?
 
I-35 does get crowded at times, but there are a lot of cars and trucks just passing through town. And there are several other major arteries the locals use to get into the city.
