My personal experience of driving south from ~San Francisco down to Sunnyvale along 101 in the mornings is that it takes me around 1.2 hours, on average. I'm not sure what traffic maps have to say about it, but every time I drive down I hit backups at Millbrae, San Mateo around 92, Menlo Park (the Facebook exit), Palo Alto which is just always congested, and Mountain View.
In fact, the traffic is the deciding factor for me in ruling out regularly working in the Peninsula.
Where do you start, and at what time of day, to get 20-minute drive times? I'd love to know the secret.

- pianoben 8y agoAh, that's the difference then! I'm starting from Brisbane and ending in Sunnyvale, usually leaving around 8:30. I'll try 7:30 next time!
- masonic 8y agoThat places you downstream of all Facebook traffic.
- rconti 8y agoIsh. Actually I live pretty much right next to Facebook, so Facebook traffic is my traffic. Trust me, when I commuted from the north, I'd spend 3-5 minutes sitting on my own damn offramp just to go a few hundred feet to my house while all the FBers and bridge folk were trying to turn left onto a gridlocked overpass :)
- masonic 8y agoHeck, when I worked in that neighborhood, the Marsh Road overpass was just one lane each way!
