Oh, man... LA rush hour *shudders from memories*. Back in 2007 I drove to and from San Francisco with a friend of mine from Hawthorne. We left pretty early, but by the time we reached LA it was 4pm. I decided to stick around her place until 6pm or so, but traffic was still pretty ugly. It took me an hour to get across the city on the 10 just to reach I-15.

I think we reached SD around 6:30-7pm, so most of rush hour was tapering off. When we were driving down, the northbound lane was jammed up around Riverside. There were two accidents. :x
