Avoid Genessee, north or south, between Nobel and Governor, between 7:20am and 8am, and 3pm and 6pm.
Between the high school and the commuters trying to get to 52 – it backs up terribly.

Change Nobel to Torrey Pines for the afternoon commute. Genesee is bad in the afternoon from its north tip all the way to Governor (and sometimes 52). I’m not necessarily up or down on UC, but don’t be fooled by its proximity to UCSD – it takes a long time to get home in the afternoon if you live there.
AN is pretty much correct – Torrey Hills presents very few challenges for an afternoon commute, though even getting I-5 N from UCSD can be challenging (especially if you try to do that via Genesee heading south).
And another thing, which probably isn’t either here or there, is unless one is VERY important at UCSD and is ponying up a lot of money for a parking permit, they likely are a 15-minute walk (on average) from their office to their parking spot. The “driving home for lunch” factor just doesn’t apply.
