The straight line distance from milwaukee wisconsin to grand rapids michigan is approximately 110 miles why will it take you almost four hours to get from one city to another by car?

Answer 1

If you travel by car, you must drive around Lake Michigan. Lake Michigan is between the two cities and one must drive the car south, then west and then back up north.

You have to consider all the stoplights\signs, the other vehicles, that fact that you are driving in a straight line, you have to follow the roads. If you consider all that stuff it makes the trip alot longer than necessary. It's even worse if your driving to/from/through a big city
