Chester Ave, Hough

Chester is really one busy busy road. The long arduous drive goes by the campus of Cleveland State University. Don't take it in a rush or you will get stuck in rush hour. The people are about as nice as most Ohioans stuck in traffic. It is a miserable 4pm commute that will take you to 6. Better off sticking to the side roads.

This street can be super busy during the day and even busier during rush hour. This drive goes by the campus of Cleveland State University. When my husband and I visited this road was a major crazy place to be driving. Good luck keeping up with the city folk drivers!

I actually agree with everything Jamesgirl wrote. It i the fastest way to go from downtown E.12th where it begins to University Circle, Euclid ave is where it ends. Watch out for the traffic cameras at 50th and 71st. Watch for construction between 90th and 97th. Fast because it is an 8-lane highway. It boasts some beautiful houses in the midtown/Cleveland Clinic area. The RTA #9 bus that goes to mayfield travels down this street as well. It is very convient and i hope it stays. Its actually not that bad of a street. It's real issue is that it offers no shopping or night life but it serves a useful purpose: convienence.

The title says it all. Some people treat Chester Avenue as though it is a raceway. There are a few cameras to catch unwary speeders, but most people know where they are and just slow down there. This street is home to the Cleveland Clinic, and you can take it almost all the way downtown to Public Square and some phenomenal shopping too. Nice to visit, but dangerous to cross on foot.
