What are driving times in Doha?

It seems to be a small city with very long times to get around. At peak time how long does it take to go 10 kilometers? If one takes their kids to school is it advisable to live near the school?

Thank you both for this. It looks like I may work downtown but I have no clue where I will end up living. I would ultimately like my kids to go to the American school but we'll see if that is even remotely possible. I have a housing allowance and will need to find the best area convenient for everything. I'll see what happens I guess. Thanks again.

The farther on the edge of or out of the city the faster the driving time. I avoid downtown and Salwa road areas where it can take a mum driving the kids to school over an hour to make the one kilometer back home. I drive from West Bay to Villagio every morning by way of Education City and it takes me 30 minutes.
