LA commuter traffic
#5
I agree with azzure. Wednesday usually isn't too bad, 7 pm should be okay. Good idea to check the live traffic websites before deciding on which freeway to take..91, 60, 10, or even 210.
If you're coming from the westside of LA you have to factor in time to "get out". So if you're flexible, I'd try to be in a location such as Pasadena or Long Beach in the late afternoon/dinnertime.

Traffic can be horrendous on the drive from Anaheim to Indio. It can also go very smoothly. No matter what, give yourself plenty of time, decide if there are any toll roads you can use, have the proper change if necessary, and be patient.
We don't live there now, but travel in that area several times a year. I can't keep all the parts that are toll roads straight, but do check that out. And be sure to check if exact change is required.
Have a great trip.

The 91 can be very bad through the Green River Corridor, but I think the worst will be over by 7pm.
Unless there's traffic, the route you selected is okay, but a lot of people don't like to drive the 60 between Gilman Springs and Moreno Valley at night.
You would want to remain on the 215 northbound (and not take the 60 around Riverside), instead continue to Interstate 10 and take that all the way to Palm Springs.
Unless there's major road construction (there may be, I haven't checked) that route is a few miles longer but easier at night).

As a Northern Californian who's frequently on the LA freeways, I agree with the posters above, especially mlgb. Give yourself plenty of time, especially when driving at night.
Isn't part of the 91 a tollroad?

rkkwan: thanks for your response.
I seem to remember the last time in driving from Claremont to Orange County, I used coins along 91, but maybe not!
Welcome to California, BTW! Will you be going to any SoCal GTGs? Would love to meet you - especially for dim sum!
