Another urban legend (well there are some places it really really bad),
But there are a lot of wide side streets and secret by-passes that can really save you time.
It’s not as bad as the legend portrays.
I think around the CV area and down the I5 from north county in the morning it’s just as bad if not worse (but I have only driven there a few times during traffic I will admit).
That’s why I never go to San Diego airport from North county in the morning, it’s really bad every time I tried it.[/quote]
Actually I don’t think it’s so much urban legend. Every time I go up there for meetings, vacations, you name it..the traffic is horrible! Even during the middle of the day sometimes.
We typically stay in Santa Monica and heading downtown we’ve ran into massive traffic many times.
Here actually I don’t think it’s anywhere near as bad. I-5 IS a nightmare during rush hour. But highways like I-15 are so wide with so many lanes. I don’t find it bad at all and almost have NEVER ran into traffic during the middle of the day like LA.
