How long does it take to drive 28 miles?
My parents want me to live in the same city as them but the property there is just too expensive, so we were looking at something out of town. They’re convinced they’ll never get to see their grandkid if she doesn’t live right next door. How long is 28 miles in minutes?

Looks like you guys are facing quite a few big changes—a new house and driving routine can be stressful, and it’s probably this, more than anything, that has your parents fussing. No need to worry: ideally, the trip to grandma and grandpa’s house (or vice versa) will take half an hour at most.
Your travel time will always vary based on traffic conditions, weather, time of day, and whether your destination lies near a major road or in a residential neighborhood. Not to mention that taking kids on the road can be a huge hassle. Still, you should expect the trip to take 26-31 minutes on a 2-lane highway with a speed limit of 55-65 mph, and 24-31 on a multi-lane highway at 55-70 mph.
Hopefully, a few trips back and forth will settle everyone at the wheel (and in the backseat) into the new normal. Since you plan to make this trip often, don’t forget that the right car insurance for a long commute can make just as much difference to your peace of mind as the road conditions.
