traffic is definitely down, no argument there…and I don’t think it’s due solely to the extra lane on the 5. But yesterday from 12-2, TRAFFIC WAS HORRIBLE! Made the mistake of going to Pipes in Solana Beach from my work location off of Del Mar Highlands…I FORGOT that the races started yesterday…pulled onto the 5 north and quickly realized my mistake. We had planned on going to Milton’s but the offramp was backed up past Del Mar Heights.
But I do agree with your point…traffic is down for the most part.
