In the past during non-peak hours, commute is fine. But traffic has gotten worse over the last couple of years even during non-peak. For one who often commutes between Encino/Bel-Air and Carson during Midday at 1-2pm, very rarely has there been smooth relief on the 405. From the moment I enter the ramp near the Getty to the exit at Wilmington, it has mostly been bumper to bumper.

Commute on the 110 from the 405 to San Pedro during the afternoon is also heavily congested and won't be much faster if you continue further on the 405 south.
