So i'm in Socal...question about traffic...

Spool · 02-14-2010, 06:10 PM

Alright so i had to get out of VA for a few days, we got like 4 feet of snow there, back to back blizzard...anyways im in Huntington Beach right now, tomorrow i have to go pick up my GF who flew in later, how bad is traffic going from Huntington to Los Angeles airport at 10am? her flight lands at 10:30, i just wanna know what you guys go through so i dont get stuck on there and piss her off even more since i left without her in the first place.

and btw, i saw a white 335i coupe today, m3 sides, VRS trunk with carbon fiber exposed, on some shiny 19's...he was leaving the Tsi Lai temple, i tried to go but that place was packed...

Kensta335 · 02-14-2010, 06:18 PM

Well, tomorrow is a holiday so it shouldn't be that bad. I hate LAX. She should've landed at Long Beach or Ontario.

Robben@ltbmw · 02-14-2010, 06:57 PM

Its about a good 45min-1hour drive. I think there might still be slight traffic just because there are still many places that are opened on mon. I would say leave around 9:30AM and if you get there early, just wait 5-10min or if you get there late, she only has to wait 5-10min. (you also have to calculate the time that she has to retrieve her luggage)

and the Tsi Lai Temple you are talking about is in Hacienda Heights? I live right down the streets from there but never saw a AW e92

Check out www.sigalert.com before you go. You can check the traffic status of the freeways so you can see where there might be a jam.

Edit: Nevermind, just saw the time stamps, looks like you already left and she's probably landed lol. But the freeways look clear today.

thanks for the info, yeah everything is good now...the freeway wasn't bad at all, lot of cars but no back up...got there in about 40 minutes...

Make sure that your car has a front license plate before entering LAX airport, or you'll be ticketed. The LAX security REQUIRES all vehicles with front license plates.
