Hi all! Can anyone tell me if you know what the website is that shows directions/traffic times during rush hour? I am looking primarily from the Inland Empire to Orange County and LA. Thanks much!

You can also try google maps traffic. It isn't quite as high resolution as sigalert but 1) it provides street traffic information (not just freeways) and 2) it provides predicted traffic for a time and day.

If someone in your car happens to have an internet connection and a laptop. Otherwise it doesn't do a commuter much good real time. Traffic can change quite a bit from the time you check the traffic and the time you are actually on the road.

I have been watching the traffic on the 405 for the past half hour (it is a little after 4PM there in LA now) and it seems today the traffic is unusually light from the 101 to Orange County. I wonder if a lot of people who normally work outdoors are not on the roads today due to the rain.

Update: Just realized I-5 is closed at the Grapevine so that has to affect the north south traffic in LA County.

Here's one I haven't seen before, sort of like Google Maps: Traffic at Time and Day

Traffic Predict.com - Los Angeles Traffic Map

The mobile version works great on the iPhone, so no laptop needed.

So do GPSs enabled with traffic.

Does the Iphone traffic use google maps traffic including city streets traffic? The Navteq on Garmins only have freeway traffic, not street traffic. So, for example, garmin/navteq will route you off a busy 405 onto a busy Sepulveda because it doesn't realize that if 405 is busy, Sepulveda is busy too. Google Maps traffic has Sepulveda's traffic.

See here (at 6:23PM in LA) how Google Maps traffic shows Sepulveda moving while the 405 is jammed

Can't tell you for sure, but sigalert, in general, does make note of incidents that are not on the freeways. But I do wish I had a traffic overlay on the GPS in car I just bought.
