LA area ***boaters, need traffic advise

[Kurtis500]

I plan on going to Knotts Berry Farm tommorow and return on Friday. Thing is, I want to leave Knotts at about 5:00pm and head out the quickest way towards Palm Springs-Phoenix. Am I going to get traffic jams all the way out? What route is best?? Should I suck it up and stay overnight and go Saturday??
Thanks in advance

5:00 Friday traffic heading East out of the LA area??? I'm from Phoenix and will suggest that you suck it up and stay over and come back Saturday.

Ditto.

yup...traffic the whole way....unless you have Fast Track for the 91. That will help a little bit. last friday at the same time it took me 2hrs to get from Long Beach to corona...

Not only what he said, but leaving Knotts at 5:00 PM is a waste of a trip to a theme park. You'll be luck to see half of it if you leave that early.

Stay over, or have a nice long dinner and head out late.
When does traffic in that direction let up now? 9pm?
Everytime I sit down there I remember why I left...

I drive the 91 eastbound daily. At 5 pm you're phucked, period. ESPECIALLY ON A FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Expect it to take you like an hour and a half just to get to the 15. NOw if you had Fastrak, I'm assuming you don't, you'd be better. Wait until like maybe 8pm to leave, it will be ALOT better.

Get Fastrak you knucklehead. :rollside:

You know, I just never get tired of being right.
I think rush hour over there starts about noon and lets up around 11:59 the next morning.

The 91 sucks at any time of day or any day of the week.
