OT LA friday traffic advise Options

[dw914er]

Well, Im going home for the weekend, but this will be the first time i'm leaving San Luis Obispo at 6pm (never had a late friday class)


now, typically, I take the 101, to the 126 through fillmore, then 5, 210. This way, I never deal with la traffic, just Pasadena on the 210. But the last time I would do this I would pull through there at 4pm ish. This is a longer way to go, but again, no LA traffic.


A shorter route is the 101 to the 134 to the 210. Since I will be passing through at around 9pm, does anyone think this will still take longer than my normal route?


Thanks,

Ben

My parents have lived at the east end of Pasadena/San Marino for 35 years, and I ALWAYS take your usual route (well, the 101's OK on Thanksgiving or Christmas morning, or after midnite Sun -Thurs.) The 126 was even faster than the 101 when it was 2 lanes and filled with stop lights and traffic, as we know it, didn't exist. My rule? PCH if I'm going to the Westside (except for days when I'm gonna hit beach traffic) and 126/5/210 for the rest of my trips to LaLaLand and points south/east. I also don't think it's that much longer ..................
