Orange County? ;P Everywhere in the PRC south of Santa Barbara and west of Barstow the traffic sucks - always.

Orange County here. That's why I work at home!

I've just checked - all the roads are green - i.e. no traffic. Admittedly it would be about 3.15am ;)

Excellent!!! Working here in NYC. Thanks for the heads up.

Just out of curiosity, Does anyone know how Google gets this information? Here in Raleigh, NC we have a company that monitors the traffic and provides traffic reporters to all the radio stations. Do they or companies like them provide the info? I am really curious how accurate it is. Mark "If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted (or work on something new). Comment that Code! "

I still prefer MapQuest though. It is very informative.
