> 15 miles from me, which in Atlanta traffic is over an hour.

Sounds like bicycle speed.

If I had to drive into Boston or Cambridge from 15 miles out at rush hour, it would almost certainly take me about that long.

Welcome to Atlanta. There isn't an easy way to get from Gwinnett to Alpharetta.

I did try it via bicycle, and it did take about the same amount of time. But the streets here are vary narrow and southern hospitality ends when you get in a car.

Sounds like a situation asking for some dedicated bike paths. Make it easy for people to bypass the heavy car traffic, maybe even introduce a shortcut from Gwinnett to Alpharetta, and reduce the pressure on the roads.
