The O.C., California
1. Los Angeles: Harbor Freeway/CA-100 Northbound

I've driven it many times, but luckily I don't commute that way.

Oh, and it should say 110, not 100.

Beat me to it. 710 South isn't a whole lot better. I 5 South after the 91 is pretty good, relatively speaking.

What? 405 North OR South (depending on time of day) between Burbank Blvd. and Santa Monica Blvd. is not on the list???

The additional drive time during rush hour for this 15 mile stretch is at LEAST 45 minutes. And Rush "Hour" lasts from about 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m for Southbound, and 3:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for Northbound.

And now that The Rampture is about to start, it's going to get even MORE fun!

The Rampture does promise to be everything that was promised for Carmageddon, except instead of one weekend which never materialized, this promises to last at least 9 to 10 months.

CA 57 is a real beauty, especially where it joins and then separates from the 60. eek

Ah yes - good times idling in Diamond Bar, for sure!

And whoa upon those who are NOT in the proper lane for whichever freeway you need. HINT - It's NOT the lane you THINK it is!

Anyone ever notice that, in Southern California, if you ask how far away a place is, the answer is in minutes/hours rather than miles?

How far away is Dodger Stadium from here? About 20 minutes unless there's a game.

The Mall is only about 10 minutes away.

The nearest beach is about 45 minutes from here.

In Texas, evrything within 30 miles is "right next to".

In Lubbock, Texas (population 230,000), we have no such highways. There are three ('freeways') which get a little bit backed up at rush hours, but nothing major.
