Yeah the only con to Cahaba is 280. If you're in a situation where you wouldn't be on it much then I would lean that area. I'm in Riverchase. Not my favorite area but the commute to work is amazing.

I drive 280 everyday and it has improved significantly since they made the traffic light changes and added lanes around the hospital. The only area it really backs up is between Target and Whole Foods, and most of the time it is at least moving. I only get stuck in stop and go traffic maybe once a week outside of that stretch, whereas before the changes it was every day. Of course if there's a wreck then all bets are off.
Really wish they would have added a third lane to the 459 Westbound overpass. I think that would alleviate even more congestion.

Not that bad. There are backroads that can take you under the highway to the Colonnade and Altadena areas.... as well as backroads leading the other direction into Mountain Brook.
280 getting into downtown is not bad from Cahaba Heights. Shelby County is where it gets bad... mainly because of poor planning and bad zoning laws for years that have caused major traffic issues today. If you are inside I-459, then you'll be fine. That's where the speed picks up.
