To Phoenix, it depends on WHERE in Phoenix, and if you'd be dropping down to I-10 or using the 101 to go north, or just using surface streets. I would not be commuting all the way to Chandler from LP. Too far; added to the traffic, it's too much.

To Chandler is not recommended. Depends on where in Phoenix--certainly no further east than downtown.

depending on where you are at downtown, you're probably looking between 40min. - 1 hr ......... on I-10 things are pretty good until you get to around 83rd ave and then it's a huge bottlneck until just past 51st ave ....... usually things will open up again (with some random stops) - maybe not full speed, but usually moving

from there once you exit it can take time snaking around surface streets & parking (part of the reason why i've shaved time off my commute despite adding miles recently - less time on surface streets, sitting at lights, etc)

I do that song & dance every day. Traffic is fairly heavy once you're east of 83rd ave on i10. It gets lighter during the summer months though, but I'm not sure why. Someone mentioned something about the snowbirds coming back to town when the weather cools off, whatever that means. Anyway I can usually make it from home to work (in Tempe) in about 45 minutes in normal traffic right now. A few months ago I used to be able to do it in about 35 minutes, going about 70mph the whole way.

I-10 is horrible during crush hour. Until the additional freeway loops are built, that is the main east-west freeway until you hit downtown Phoenix or the east valley cities.

Indian School Road is a good east-west commute from Litchfield Park into Phoenix if you want to avoid I-10. You go through some sketchy areas like Maryvale but it is a good alternate.

As long as there aren't any crashes or pull-overs along I-10, then it's smooth sailing down the freeway to downtown or commuting to the other side of town. It only takes one traffic incident along I-10 to bring it all to snail crawl or complete stop.
