I've always driven through L.A. to 101 or I-5 to 46. L.A. can be a pain for the long drive through city traffic. Looking at alternatives which show roughly the same mileage and bypass L.A. Any of these good options for towing a 5'er? Other options or just stick with driving through L.A.1) I-10, I-15, 138, I-5, 462) I-10, I-15, 138, 14, 58, 99, 463) I-10, I-15, 395, 58, 99, 46

10 to 15, 15 to 210, 210 to 5, 5 to 126, 126 to 101. The 126 dumps you out in Ventura by-passing LA traffic and Oxnard into Ventura traffic.

If its not after 3pm on a Friday your fastest route and minimal grades would be: 10to210 210to134 134to101. the 126 is way to far north and is called blood alley for a reason.

The 126 dumps you out in Ventura by-passing LA traffic and Oxnard into Ventura traffic.We've gone that route many times but 210 often has the typical heavy LA traffic. Depends on the time, same as other LA freeways. So far that has been our preferred route. I've just found 210 to be tiring and slow at times.

10 to 15 15 to 210 210 to 118 118 to 23 to 101 118 is a shorter path and better way to go than 126. you can also run 134 to 101 but be ready for stop and goPS I live in Ventura

Might just be me but you'll encounter the brunt of traffic on 10 to 15, 15 to 210, 210 to 5. If you made it to the 5, I would just do 5 north to the 46 west. Seems like a straighter shot to me.

Is there a reason why you don't take 14 north to 58, 99, 46? Or 15 to 395, 58, 99, 46?

If you take the 210 coming up from the south, be aware that the transition in Pasadena is on the far right and it comes up really fast -- the signage is poor. Stay right as you approach Pasadena!

And the 58/99/46 route is ok, but 46 can be kind of twisty and hilly.

milestuff if you take 14 you are going north and cutting east, not a good way to go if trying to get to 99. Dick

Looking at MS Streets and Trips map, 14 north from Palmdale heads straight north to Mojave to pick up 58 west. The other direction shows 14 heading quite a ways south to pick up I-5 N to 126.

I say option 3, but what day and time are you traveling? If you are doing this trip on a weekend I'd take the 210,5,99 to 46 which drops you off in Paso Robles.

The 46 is an easy road to travel and not as many accidents since they widened the road.

True but from I-5 to Palmdale is East and if you are on I-5 why not go North on I-5 to hwy 46. Dick

Ah, I think you're assuming reaching I-5 from the 10 or 210. I'm wanting to bypass the L.A. area. So I'm thinking of coming from the east from I-15 to 138 to Palmdale, then north on 14 to 58 to 99 then 46 to Paso.
