rush hour commute from sherman oaks to burbank town center (Riverside: home, live)

[dandushka]

Husband works in woodland hills and i might have a gig in burbank.
valley village / studio city are very expensive middle grounds
am wondering what the rush hour commute is from sherman oaks to burbank and back. I have two babies and cannot spend more than half an hour commuting - MAX

Thank for any feedback.

I go the other way so all I can tell you is what I see - the 134 is usually moving right along. The 101 can be pretty slow. But you can always take Riverside if the 101 is bad and get on the 134 closer to Olive/Pass. Going home it will be the same way - the 134 should be fine but you'll bottleneck at the 101.

You shouldn't have an issue on the commute being more than 30 minutes. On most days it should be 20 or so. There are a lot of surface street options running east/west if the 101 has a major malfunction (Burbank Blvd, Magnolia Blvd, Ventura Blvd, Riverside, Moorpark, etc.).

If I were you I'd check it out on a weekday commute to see for yourself. Of course, as you get familiar with the commute you'll learn the surface street options as well.

30 to 45 minutes with the worst traffic imaginable between the areas.

Valley Villiage is much cheaper than Studio City and Sherman Oaks. VV is basically North Hollywood.
