Driving around LA

Los Angeles is famous for its traffic during rush hour, so we suggest you plan ahead and drive around at alternative times. If you want (and can), you may also drive through carpool lanes. Carpool or High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, available on most freeways, are located on the left with specific entrance and exit points. To drive through these lanes you must have 2 or more people inside the car, so invite a friend to share the road with you!

Road trips from LA

Los Angeles is where great road trips can start! The most famous drives along the Pacific Highway (or CA-1) to San Francisco, one of the most famous road trips in the world.

Another option is to go from LA to Las Vegas, where nightlife and entertainment never end! This drive is a reflexive one, with nothing but the desert surrounding you for miles on end. When you arrive in Las Vegas, though, that’s where the party starts!
