quickest route from garden grove to pasadena on a friday from 2-3pm?

[xyyz]

i have an appointement tomorrow that i need to make by 4:30. i'll be in garden grove until about 2-2:30pm, after which i'll head straight to pasadena. i need to know the quickest route to get to pasadena.

should i take the 5N or should i take the 57N to the 210W?

i can't afford to be late... which means i want to avoid any freeway parking lots.

for those in the know... and suggestions?

Take the 5. The 210 sucks at any time.

Not sure where garden grove is. But If I have 57 to choose from, I will definitely take 57! the 5 sucks at ANY TIME!

Btw, here is a helpful link for ya, check it before you leave : LA traffic

it's a crapshot, both are pretty bad on fridays.

The crunch happen around 3:00 PM, usually.

I'd check the site luvya posted and look at, 57 to 60 to 605 to 210.........:sun:

i know the answer to this one.

the trick is to avoid the 5 at all costs. i would say go 22w, 405n, 605n, then 210w

good luck....

i would not get on the 5, i think the 57->210 will be fine around 2-3pm any later and you will start hitting friday traffic

I commuted for about 4 months along that route. Your best bet would be to go 605 to 210. Whoever said 210 is bad any time obviously doesn't have a clue.
