Drive from Buckeye to Long Beach - Estimated drive time?
Hi All - I'm driving to Long Beach, CA on Monday morning, early, to catch a cruise that's leaving port. If anybody has taken this drive, how long do you anticipate the drive will take? I dont' speed - probably 77mph at most. I'm allocating 6 hrs if I don't get lost and light traffic. Is that enough? Too much? Thanks a bunch!

LONG BEACH drive
6 hours should do it...
it will depend on what time of day you enter the LA basin-area...
the freeways in LA can get backed up...  RUSH HOUR! |

Minimize stops and you can get there in about 5.5 hours.

Speaking of traffic, how does the Phoenix area compare to L.A?

I don't think Phoenix is as bad, comparatively speaking.
With that said, I think LA traffic is organized and Phoenix is more of a "mess", if that makes any sense.

I sure wouldn't want to miss the boat...I'd allow at least 7. I've seen the freeways backed up for miles due to an accident or construction.
