- bobsil1 13y agoUp to 8 hours when there's construction on I-5, jams into your destination city, or when you're taking kids who need bathroom breaks.
- mikeyouse 13y agoJust as an anecdote.. We had some friends from Orange County come visit us in SF this past weekend. * OC -> SF -- Left at 3pm, took 9.5hrs to drive * SF -> OC -- Left at 9pm, took 7 hours to drive There is random night construction as well as detours and traffic to worry about on I-5. Half an hour would be a no-brainer, even if it only went so far as downtown LA.
