Interstate 5 traffic los angeles driver#
I’m a 75-plus-year-old driver and I’ve always known about the prima facie speed limit in California. Dear Honk: With all due respect, I was very surprised and disappointed in your answer in last week’s column about the highway speed limit when no signs are posted. Will a photo of your license on your cellphone be enough for a traffic officer?

“There is a project to widen SR-78 … in the next few years.” “We have noticed more vehicles traveling on southbound I-5 to eastbound SR-78, one of the most congested freeways in (San Diego) county,” Manning told Honk in an email. Highway 78, which veers east off of the I-5 in south Oceanside, might be in play here. Honk has learned over the years that traffic can be clogged more than you would think by downstream trouble. Hayden Manning, a Caltrans spokesman based in San Diego, says weekend traffic gets heavier this time of year, and that stretch is absorbing even more vehicles with the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. The ol’ Honkmobile makes that trek often on Saturdays, and although the handsome devil behind the wheel enjoys glancing out at Camp Pendleton and the magnificent Pacific, it does tend to be a slog. Worst on Saturdays, and bad most Friday afternoons. Now it seems like there’s never a time without stop-and-go traffic to about Oceanside. It used to be bad only on Saturday mornings in the summertime. Hi Honk! Curious minds want to know what gives with the traffic on the I-5 Freeway south of San Clemente to anywhere in San Diego County.
