Current LA Traffic? Check Real-Time Sources (Google Maps, Waze, Sigalert)

I cannot provide real-time traffic data. My knowledge cutoff is 2023; I have no live access.

Best Live Sources

• Google Maps / Waze — live speeds, incidents, routing.
• Sigalert.com — LA-specific, CHP incidents, camera feeds.
• Caltrans QuickMap — freeway speeds, chain controls, cameras.
• LA Metro — transit delays, bus/rail status.
• Local radio: KNX 1070, KFI 640 (traffic on the 5s/10s).
• Twitter/X: @LATraffic, @CHPLAC, @CaltransDist7.

Typical Patterns

• AM peak: 6–9 AM (inbound to DTLA/Century City/Santa Monica).
• PM peak: 3:30–7 PM (outbound).
• Worst corridors: I-405, I-10, US-101, I-5, I-110, CA-60.
• Weekends: Beach/leisure traffic (PCH, I-405 Sepulveda Pass).

Use apps before departure; LA traffic is notoriously unpredictable.
