ParticipantMay not be a depression, but something is radically changed, and in a short period of time. I’ve been out here visiting family for three weeks, and I have yet to stop once in any kind of traffic at all – at any time of day. I am right in Del Mar/Solana Beach area so my family says it is because of the new lane on the 5. I am not so sure. The difference from all the other years is so astounding. Same for beach parking. No problems. Just seems like a huge number of people have disappeared.
My family also kept saying “wait for the races to start” still nothing yesterday – nothing like the other years at all.
It is like rush hour traffic has just disappeared altogether, and much of the time i am driving down to Coronado or wherever to visit friends – the freeway reminds me of 1984 when I was learning to drive. Wide open.
I was back-n-forth several times between del mar & Encinitas one morning from 7am to 9:30 helping a family member and never saw any rush hour traffic at all. even last year that would have been stop and go going south.
maybe not a depression, but people are changing behaviors in a big way.

Participanttraffic 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.

ParticipantI would say traffic is down somewhat but partially its due to school being out for the summer. I drive the 56 daily at 730am and its still packed every day. Its lighter due to schools being out. I also take it at 5-6 each evening and it backs up daily.
Unfortunately thats only one road. Try the 805 south from the 5 split in Sorrento at 5pm any weekday and let me know how it is.
Take the 15 south at the same time from mira mesa.
