Driving in Mons has taken a bit of getting used to. My first few weeks driving around the city were quite stressful. Definitely a white knuckle experience.
Now with routes that are familiar to me, I whip around the city with a bit more ease.
One of Kyra's dance studios is located south of the city. Traveling to the studio it is fastest to take the express way - the A7/E19/E42. Headed home it is faster to just take the Mons' Beltway - the R50.
I tried to find a good map of it, but this was the best I can do. Only a small portion of the R50 is obscured from your view. Those of you who have experienced Washington DC's beltway know how much fun it can be at any time of the day, but particularly at rush hour.
I travel the Mons beltway in rush hour. My drive takes me around half of it. This portion of my drive takes me under two minutes. To circle the Mons beltway takes between three and five minutes, during rush hour, still no more than 10 minutes.
When it comes to traffic and driving, I'm definitely getting spoiled here. Places we go are further away, but I certainly don't have to work my way through as much traffic as back home. I'm sure I'll pine for the Mons beltway when I've returned to the US.
