How long will it take to drive 23 miles?

I’ve been dying to go to the pumpkin patch all season long, but I live in a major city so it’s hard to find one. The nearest one I found is 23 miles away, which feels pretty far. I’m not sure it’s worth it! How long is it going to take to drive 23 miles?

Going to the pumpkin patch is a fall favorite, but don’t worry—the trip probably won’t take as long as you think. The two biggest factors for the time it’ll take to drive 23 miles are driving speed and traffic. It’s tough to account for traffic, but here’s a handy table to help you determine how your speed will affect your driving time:
Speed
Length of time
35 mph
39 minutes
45 mph
31 minutes
55 mph
25 minutes
65 mph
21 minutes
Make sure you follow all posted speed limit signs within the city, or you could find yourself subject to a speeding ticket. Speeding tickets can cause increases in car insurance, but when you download the
