What do you mean by "have the option?" There is not an option to avoid the random traffic bottlenecks causes by construction, accidents, road closures, and just generally poor infrastructures and even worse drivers. The traffic lights have also been increased in both count and magnitude to induce even more delay. The speed limits have been lowered. The road conditions are abysmal, potholes, cracks, and unevenness abound. You know nothing Jon Snow.
