LA driving question

How long should it take to drive from LAX to Beverly Hills (Santa Monica Blvd and N. Rodeo) at 10:30AM on a Wednesday?

Google says 20 minutes, but up to 1hr20min if traffic.. What is traffic usually like on the 405N and SMBlvd that time of day?

You can take the 405, or use surface streets which would be faster if there's traffic on the 405.

Take La Cienega to wilshire. left on wilshire, right on rodeo.

what are you doing here?

I'd give yourself an hour just in case - if there's no traffic then 30 min is doable - if it's raining like today 90 min easy...

All it takes is one car to pull over on the side of the road and traffic comes to a stand still on the 405...

Sounds like LA county numbers... rain does that to people here....

People don't leave enough room to see the ground in front of them in LA (which is dangerous enough on dry driving conditions) so when it rains - cars slide into each other like they're in a pin pall machine... (imagine what they would do if it ever snowed here!!! lol)

If train A leaves station A at 80 mph and train B leaves station B at 95 mph and the people on train B are eating lasagne but they run out of garlic bread what color are the conductor's shoes?
