Traffic between Stony Brook and Ronkonkoma
My husband and I sometimes talk about moving closer to my office. One of the areas we discuss is Stony Brook because I have liked the area ever since I went to SUNY. Today I had a medical appointment at Stony Brook hospital and it took me forever to get back to Ronkonkoma. Is it always like this? We're not seriously looking yet but I want to know if I should rule out Stony Brook. I may move my office in a year or 2 but I would be going to another building in Ronkonkoma.

Re: Traffic between Stony Brook and Ronkonkoma
it really depends on where in SB and where in Ronkonkoma - I would say even during rush hour it shouldn't be more than 20-25mins. im in setauket and to get to portion only takes this long. I use back roads to get everywhere.
If you let us know which roads, we'll give you alternates.
I LOVE SB. I just got back from walking my dog at the Avalon Park next to the Gristmill - watched the sunset down at the harbor - couldn't imagine a better place to live

If you were up by SUNY today - today was the first day of classes on both the West and HSC sides of SUNY, so it was high traffic/volume. It usually evens out on Nicolls Rd over a week or two.

Nicolls rd is usually dead stop between SCCC and SUNY Stonybrook everyday between 4 and 7. I did hear portion Rd is being expanded like Middle Country Rd so that may save you some time.

Yes, I was. Maybe it slows down after people start skipping class   . Just kidding. I went to SUNY and didn't skip classes much at all!
For those who asked, I didn't take Portion Rd. today but I was on Nicholls.
My OB is also in Stony Brook/Setauket and the traffic was not always terrible when I was going there a lot in 2007.

Re: Traffic between Stony Brook and Ronkonkoma
I live right off Nicholls between Ronkonkoma and Stony Brook and it usually isn't bad. It used to be awful before they removed some of the lights.

Re: Traffic between Stony Brook and Ronkonkoma
both my parents did that commute - I never once heard them complain about traffic
I think it took 20-25 minutes
we lived on Lower Sheep- so we were close to 347 and Nicholos

this is where I live too. it is much better now since the lights were removed.
I used to commute to the Ronkonkoma train station every day and there was never really any traffic.
