[quote=deadzone]LA freeways are way worse than I5 in San Diego, no comparison. I5 corridor around Carmel Valley is usually only clogged during rush hour. I5 or 405 in LA gets clogged up any time of the day including weekends.[/quote]
Most angelenos only go through the 405 (near the L.A. Airport or I-5 Near Down town) maybe Once or twice a year (some every decade or so).
You are far more likely to drive from Valencia to Simi-Valley or West-Lake) (maybe Pasadena/Arcadia these days) and vise versa than ever going through Down-Town.
I think maybe a lot more San Diegans go through the I-5 through the Metro’s area’s on a daily basis.
