LA drive times - please help!
 

I've read a lot on this site regarding LA traffic jams. Could somebody please advise me on the likely drive times for the following journeys IN MID AUGUST: <BR> <BR>1) Santa Monica to Beverly Hills (start around 11am on a Saturday) <BR>2) Beverly Hills to Universal Studios (start around 7am on a Sunday) <BR>3) Santa Monica to Universal Studios (start around 7am on a Sunday) <BR>4) Beverly Hills to Disneyland (start around 11am on a Monday) <BR>5) Santa Monica to Disneyland (start around 11am on a Monday) <BR>6) Disneyland to San Diego (start around 8pm on a Wednesday) <BR> <BR>Any help from somebody with a little local knowledge would be extremely helpful. <BR> <BR>

Harv, <BR> <BR>With 1,2 and 3 you should have no traffic at all as you are leaving early in the morning. I doubt any of these would take you more than twenty minutes and choice 1 should be around ten or fifteen (depending where in Santa Monica to where in BH). The traffic gets really bad during the traditional rush hour times and you're avoiding that. <BR> <BR>Michele

CORRECTION <BR>Please note that the first trip should have read: <BR> <BR>1) Santa BARBARA to Beverly Hills. <BR> <BR>Apologies <BR>Harv

Disneyland to San Diego shouldn't take more than 2 hours on a Wednesday night.

#6 should be about 1hr 30mins-2hrs, depending on where in San Diego you're going to.

Santa Barbara to BH (depends on where) should be around than 2 hours more or less via US101 and I-405, but traffic happens on Saturday afternoons, especially in the valley and on I-405. The last couple of miles from the Santa Monica Bvd. or Wilshire Bvd. exits into BH can also be a drag.
