I just did the trip on 101 . . . It took me 6 hours, each way.

I don't believe you. It's about 425 miles from Pershing Square to
Civic Center Plaza. You'd have to average 71mph meaning that you'd
have to drive faster than 90mph. I don't believe you did. Care to try
to convince me?

It's 407 miles from my apartment to my destination in Woodland Hills.
That's an average speed of 68 mph. I drive straight through, stopping
only
once for gas.

Ah, this explains it. Woodland Hills is 25 miles and 30 to 90 minutes
(depending on traffic) from downtown LA. "LA is a great big city"
as the song goes, and Woodland Hills is on the very edge where 101
enters the city. The far edge of the city is about 50 miles from Woodland
Hills, and from experience, can take 2 hours on a weekend.


I consider the trip on US Highway 101 (about 425 miles) to be one of
eight hours.

And I consider it a little over 6 hours.


I consider the trip on InterState Highway 5 (about 400 miles) to be
one of a bit more than six and a half hours.

In rush hour, it can take an hour (I used to commute from North Hollywood).
Ninety minutes would be one heck of a traffic jam.

It depends on what you mean by "far edge." From Woodland Hills down to LAX,
which is close to the city edge, is about 45 mintues with moderate traffic.

Damn, I must be extremely unlucky.

Downey, Norwalk, those other towns on the other side of the border. I
always
considered LAX in central LA. And for those thinking they hit LA city
limits
there in Woodland Hills, Disneyland is on the other side of Downey and
Norwalk.

You must have been. It used to take me 30 minutes to get from North
Hollywood to downtown, though I mostly used surface streets.

Um, Disneyland isn't in LA. And Woodland Hills is part of LA.
