What broached last week’s question was the lack of signs on Los Patrones Parkway in south Orange County.

No, Conrad, the Driver Handbook in its 117 pages does not mention this law, although it does say that if there aren’t signs on a two-lane, undivided highway, the speed limit is 55. He did go on to say that he looked into it, and a California Highway Patrol officer who doubles as a spokesman told him it is 65 mph in the Golden State for vehicles without trailers. Honk was disappointed with the ol’ Honkster this week, too, saying the salmon was overcooked.Ĭonrad is referring to Honk saying he had no idea how a motorist would know what the speed limit is on a divided highway without posted speed-limit signs. Which makes me wonder: Is the prima facie law mentioned in the California Driver Handbook?Ī.
I fear this demonstrates another failure of driving schools, etc., in the education of new drivers. I also remember this law being reduced to 55 mph on highways nationwide during the oil crisis of the ’70s. It’s one of the first things I picked up when I was learning to drive after I got a permit at age 15 1/2. I’m a 75-plus-year-old driver and I’ve always known about the prima facie speed limit in California. Dear Honk: With all due respect, I was very surprised and disappointed in your answer in last week’s column about the highway speed limit when no signs are posted. How many disabled parking spaces must be set aside? “There is a project to widen SR-78 … in the next few years.” “We have noticed more vehicles traveling on southbound I-5 to eastbound SR-78, one of the most congested freeways in (San Diego) county,” Manning told Honk in an email. Highway 78, which veers east off of the I-5 in south Oceanside, might be in play here. Honk has learned over the years that traffic can be clogged more than you would think by downstream trouble. Hayden Manning, a Caltrans spokesman based in San Diego, says weekend traffic gets heavier this time of year, and that stretch is absorbing even more vehicles with the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. The ol’ Honkmobile makes that trek often on Saturdays, and although the handsome devil behind the wheel enjoys glancing out at Camp Pendleton and the magnificent Pacific, it does tend to be a slog. Worst on Saturdays, and bad most Friday afternoons. Now it seems like there’s never a time without stop-and-go traffic to about Oceanside. It used to be bad only on Saturday mornings in the summertime. Hi Honk! Curious minds want to know what gives with the traffic on the I-5 Freeway south of San Clemente to anywhere in San Diego County. Basically, if you must drive on a Thursday or Friday evening, take surface streets.Q.

#9: 101 North between the 60/Soto Street and Haskell AvenueĪnd here are all the stats on every freeway through Los Angeles, including the worst day and times each week to drive them-on Thursdays at 6 pm, it'll take a driver more than an hour to traverse the full 14.89 miles of that stretch of the 10 that's the second worst in the US. #7: 5 South between Cesar Chavez and Valley View Avenues #3: 405 North between Century Boulevard and Getty Center Drive #2: 10 East between Twentieth Street and Alameda (Worst delay: 50 minutes!) We bet you won't even have to think very hard to guess what they are.Ģ013's worst places to drive in the United States are: Inrix also highlighted the nation's 10 worst traffic corridors, four of which are in LA. This month alone, Inrix estimates, Angelenos each wasted about five hours just sitting in traffic. In 2013, Angelenos spent 64.4 hours in traffic-that's five more hours than we wasted in 2012, when we were also the city with the worst traffic. Congratulations, you're right: Los Angeles does have the absolute worst traffic in the US, says the latest data from traffic analysis site Inrix (via CBS LA). When you're creeping through traffic for what will amount to years and years of your life, it probably seems like you're navigating the worst traffic anywhere in the country.
