In theory, I know I need to leave extra time for travel during peak hour. In planning, I tend to allow at least fifteen- thirty minutes extra. In practice, I leave only five- fifteen minutes early (despite good intentions) and arrive five- fifteen minutes late.
This experience is usually exaggerated if I am travelling to an area I don't know well, and have to estimate the travel time using my street directory.
Would it really be so tough to set up a travel estimator? The information could be like shareware- you enter your origin, destination and start and arrival times into a database. The information is collated and averaged. You could then search the database by stating your origin, destination and start time. The database could let you know the average travel time to this area at this time of day.
Genius. Someone invent this for me, please. My punctuality depends upon it.
