I'm planning a road trip from New York to Los Angeles. What are the main roads I'll be taking?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
You'll likely take I-80 W for most of the trip, passing through states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and finally California.<|im_end|>

That sounds long. What are the typical traffic patterns I should expect on this route?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
You can expect heavy traffic around major cities like Chicago, Des Moines, and Salt Lake City, especially during rush hour. Additionally, construction delays are common in the summer months.<|im_end|>

Are there any alternative routes I can take to avoid traffic?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Consider taking I-90 W, also known as the Northern Route, which may add some extra miles but can help you avoid traffic congestion in certain areas. However, be sure to check for road closures and construction before making any changes to your route.<|im_end|>
