It obviously depends upon how dense an urban area you live in, traffic levels and greenspace, but altering your routes to work / around town can lower your exposure to the worst particulate pollution levels. Street-to-street variations can be quite large.

That's pretty interesting and good to know. It's not like I drive an open top vehicle or anything either but I have to take the highway a lot and drive a lot for work
Is there a big difference if I put air filters capable of filtering VOCs in the house?

VOCs aren't the big concern, it's small particulate matter.
PM 2.5 is the most commonly reported air pollution statistic. That is the concentration of particles 2.5 micrometer or smaller in size.
A good HEPA filter will remove most of this.
