Looking to avoid LA traffic? Start early or arrive late. Take your pick. Most people plan to arrive at work at 8 a.m. If you’re an early bird, try instead for 7, and then leave earlier in the day. If you prefer to savor your toast and coffee, aim to get to work at 9 and stay an extra hour. You’ll save time waiting in the traffic parking lot, and you still get your work done- the best of both worlds.Â
Avoid the Los Angeles 110 at all costs. This is the highway that connects Orange County to the South Bay. Stick to alternate routes like taking Broadway until Manchester.
Always remember that rain and traffic don’t mix. Always use side streets when it’s pouring. Since it doesn’t rain often in LA, the sudden onslaught of water can loosen oil deposits and cause slick conditions.Â
