A supposed 30 min. drive takes double the time during rush hour over there. I'm expecting the worst but hoping for the best in regards to traffic.
it ain't the same. a "30 minute" drive in clear traffic can pretty easily get upwards of 2.5 hours in rush hour (~7-11am, 3-8pm) in l.a.; double the time would be sweeeeeeet. in an area like the sepulveda pass, it's not that unusual to move 1-2 miles in 30 minutes during rush hour.
