Cedar Park is about 20 miles from downtown Austin. Leander is another five or seven miles. The traffic on 183 during rush hour is awful, but there is a toll road that makes it a bit easier until you get to 620.

The population of both those towns was about 5,000 combined in 1991. Now, there are probably over 35,000 or more between the two. I lived 35 miles from work when we moved here in 1991 and 183 still had traffic lights at most intersections. Now, it’s a freeway. Took me about 45 minutes each way.

When I retired in 2011, it was over an hour each way with the PM commute often being 1 hour and 15 or 20 minutes. If there was an accident, add an additional 20 - 30 minutes.
