Another LA traffic (210) question....

A follow up question or 2......... I know this is a vague almost unanswerable question, but if I make this drive mid-week around 9-10 am what sort of drive time am I looking at between Redlands and the 5? Also is it best to jump up to 210 that far east?

Thanks for all your input!

I'll be driving my MH with toad through northern LA on the 210 west bound to the 5 north. Are MH's required to use the Truck Lane for his transition? I would assume so since I'm driving a truck chassis.......

Thanks

Not required to stay in the truck lane but I tend to find a truck going about the speed I normally drive. Because there are so many idiots on So. Calif. freeways, a truck will give me the additional buffer zone for any idiot doing a dumb driving move in front of the truck. The trucks also act as wind buffers if any winds kick up.

Not required but I still use them to go a little slower through the crush on 5N.

NO

I agree with the bear II. I'm not a truck but I use the truck transition lanes. If you don't use it you'll be making a number of lane changes moving to the left...the 14 Fwy is accessed by the right lanes and I5 to the left. I would do this part of your trip no later than 1 p.m. if on a weekday.

I live in southern California and often travel the highways leading to I-5. I use the truck transition lanes since they tend to be less crowded and fewer idiots cutting in & out of traffic. You are not required to use them in a MH.

I don't. I'm not a truck.
