Depends on how fucked up the Ft Pitt tunnel traffic is on any certain day.

I guess it definitely ties into that. Of course all traffic in the area is linked together. I put google maps on every morning even though I go the same exact route (just so I can see if anything unexpected is coming up). Weirdly this morning it initially routed me through the Ft Pitt Tunnel then gave me the “faster route available.”

I swear by Waze going from HP to Robinson every morning. I usually hit traffic early enough where Ft Pitt isn't a parking lot just yet. Otherwise I either take the West End bridge, or just go thru McKees Rocks and Kennedy Twp.

Yep I was just about to plug Waze too. I love Google Maps for browsing and searching, but Waze is 1000% better with navigation and traffic avoidance.

That's funny cause waze is owned by google.

Exactly. And it absolutely irritates the shit out of me how weak Waze search is. Usually I end up searching on Google Maps, then copying the address into Waze. The two products really could not be more different. I just think the navigational aspect of Waze is superior, especially when I'm driving with no plotted destination (speed limits, upcoming intersections, traffic, etc.).
