Many years ago like 1995, I live in South Charlotte off of Providence Rd, I worked downtown off of 7th street, distance wise it was about 7-10 miles but if you hit it at the wrong time of day or did not know all the back way contingency routes it could take 30 minutes to get their.

I moved out to Concord, NC near the Speedway off of Pitt School Rd and my commute to work was an avg of 45 minutes, some days more if their was an accident or something.

Charlotte has been working to improve it's roads and the 485 beltline has helped tremendously so I would imagine while still bad traffic flows much better now. Anytime I spend their now is usually not during peak traffic flow, rush hour or I'm usually headed against the grain.
