I regularily take my daughter to UCLA med center, a few miles off the 405 & Wilshire, about 113 miles from home. It’s always a crawl on the 405 from about Van Nuys on. In rush hour it can take over an hour to go the last 15 miles and it doesn’t get better once I get off on Wilshire. I truly hate that place.

My commute was from Santa Clarita to Brentwood, at the Sunset exit.....even starting work at 6am, I tended to jump off the 405 mid-valley and take various surface streets.

Heading home at 3pm, the 405 would already suck, so I'd do Sepulveda until well through the freeway "Sepulveda Impasse".
