You don't need a separate thread for every question.

With that said, street traffic isn't that bad overall except major N/S arterial streets during rush hour because there are over 2 million people here and only a hand full of American River crossings.

Most freeways are gridlock during rush hour but coming from LA that's nothing new.

Capital City Freeway is slow most of the day, including weekends.

Driving around downtown/midtown is fine except rush hour but there is no parking anywhere you want to be, all day. Be prepared to illegal park for most of your trips and keep your business under 5 mins if you're going to use your car. I live downtown and if I need to drive somewhere I just illegal park and take care of business very fast. I haven't gotten a single ticket, some close calls though.
