But It's Not All Beer and Brats...
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
There are definitely some choke points, like the infamous Marquette Interchange, where freeways weave together like a plate of spaghetti after a particularly enthusiastic toddler feeding. These spots can get congested, especially during peak hours (7:00-8:30 AM heading downtown, 4:00-5:30 PM leaving). Translation: you might inch along slower than a cheesehead on cheese curds withdrawal.
Fear not, intrepid traveler! Here are some tips for navigating the Milwaukee rush hour rodeo:
