<p>Okay - how bad is it? I'm assuming trying to drive from San Diego to UCLA and back on Wednesday afternoon/evening would be horrendous. Have any of you seen it then?</p>
<p>Also, how bad would it be to get from UCLA to Union station on Wednesday evening?</p>
<p>Finally, I assume that Thursday morning the freeways would be great. Have any of you seen what the LA freeways are like on Thanksgiving day? Is this a correct assumption?</p>
<p>Yeah Wednesday would probably be insane - not so much Northbound however. There will be some traffic through northern Orange County and parts of LA, but southbound will probably be a parking lot.</p>
<p>If Veteran's Day is any indication...it's bad. It took me about 4 - 4.5 hours to get to UCLA from UCSD.</p>
<p>The traffic is still usually bad on thursday morning- we used to do OC->the Valley on Thanksgiving and it was awful.</p>
<p>i'm soooo ready for the breeeak...</p>
<p>Thanks for the feedback. I was hoping Thursday would be okay. I suppose the return round trip Sunday will be lousy too.</p>
<p>I've done the 5 versus 2 hour trip before and it was no fun.</p>
<p>my mom came once to pick me up and spend 4 hrs in traffic round trip. AFter that i take the bus :) Honestly, its much easier taking the bus because you save a ton of gas and time (on the drivers part).</p>
<p>The traffic is awful throughout LA during Thanksgiving, not just around UCLA. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>how far are you bruinboy</p>
<p>Traffic is horrendous. The cars won't move!</p>
<p>which bus do you take bruinboy?</p>
<p>around what time are you guys referring to?</p>
<p>culver city 6 to the airport. then use metro-rail from there</p>
<p>Vega- ALL times on Wed/thursday morning. Constant friday rush-hour style traffic allllllll day.</p>
<p>Even say late at night (past 8PM)?</p>
<p>yeah it probably wont be bad after 8.
in fact, if you avoid the freeways it'll be the status quo. which is bad anyway.</p>
<p>No, 405 and 10 are still bad after 8, but it's better than 6. It probably needs more than an hour from UCLA to Union Station.</p>
<p>405 on friday: bad all day, but gets worse as you get later and later into the evening. (basically leave asap on friday). leaving at 12 instead of 2 will save you 30 min if you're on 405 south.</p>
<p>I think he can avoid 405 by driving to Bundy Drive, cuz there's a 10 freeway after Olypmic Blvd.</p>
<p>or he can choose either Overland or National.It's much near, although he has to drive to Palms.</p>
