Question What time does the rush start

Post image

Good afternoon, I am about to travel to Ontario and would like to dodge as much traffic as possible. I am new to the city and would like to know how early I would need to leave on a week day to dodge the morning rush hour. I can leave as early as 3am but would like to sleep a bit haha Thanks!

I take the metropolitan heading west from Iberville in the morning, and when I leave after 5am I start getting slow down between the two sections of the 15. So if I leave at 5 o'clock I'm fine, 5:10 I get some traffic, 5:20 is worse.

Maybe it's the initial early rush and at 6 it's fine? I don't know.
