In the past 20 years the Lake Geneva arc from Geneva to Montreux has developed enormously. It used to take 45 minutes if you lived near Lausanne to drive down to work in Geneva. Now, depending on where you work, it can take 1.5 hours.
For those working in Geneva, the smart money is now living in neighboring France. (Even some of those axes are now highly congested with traffic, like the axis to Ferney Voltaire or to Veigy.) Check out
