I don't think that's even RTP. That's Durham. And at just about any
time of day, that intersection is pretty congested.

Best to avoid 40E all together if you can. It's often sluggish at best.
In my case, I'm working over at IBM at the Miami/Cornwallis
intersection and can take 70->540 to get home in north Raleigh. If I
were to try and get on 40 to 540, it would take much much longer.

Things do start clogging up in the park by 4pm. 4pm is about the time
IBM parking lots start their mass exodus.

My best tip/trick in your case is to change something in your life.
Either your home or your job. :) If you got a house over in like the
Parkwood neighborhood or somewhere near there your commute would be a
lot easier.
