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.

There are a lot of people speculating on commute options by looking at Google maps. Rather than have these ego-driven, “I am smarter than you” exchanges, wouldn’t it make sense for people to actually *ask* if any Piggington reader does those commutes on a regular basis?

I’ve seen it take over 40 minutes to go from Campus Point Drive to the 52 on ramp on Genesee, and that is not abnormal – you can depend on it a few times a week. On many days, it would actually be faster to take 5 South (which is itself a bit congested normally) to 52 East to Regents or Genesee North, effectively making a “loop” around the UTC area.

Likewise, any commute that takes you to 56 Eastbound in the afternoon, or uses Westbound in the morning, is going to be horrible. Every single day.

Worst case scenario analysis is pointless – almost every option for the original poster is going to involve some route that can get awful.

I think that DataAgent was confusing Black Mountain Road with Rancho PQ Blvd, not that it changes the analysis any.

Quite a few houses in “East Park Village” have been on the market lately, some for what appear to be pretty good prices.
