Sometimes it's even better to get on the river road.  Take the West river 
road down to Franklin or Lake or Ford and cross over to the East.  From 
there you can get on Rt. 5.  You might only to 25 mph, but you won't hit 
any lights.  I've used it to get from the U to the airport at rush hour 
and it works great.
