Default ? About 57S FWY in the morning

What's up guys, i just got a new job down in Fullerton and was wondering how the traffic on the 57 southbound is in the morning around 7-7:30 AM? Is it as bad as the 57 northbound around 6 PM where you're literally driving 5 mph?

Gotta be at Fullerton at 8 AM and i live in Walnut

If you got to be to work at 8AM I would leave at 7AM. On the way back though it will be kinda bad too.

57/60 interchange is what ruins it. but if you use diamond bar blvd in the afternoon it feels faster.

You can also use Brea Canyon, which turns into Brea Blvd. I've never used that road in the mornings though, so I couldn't tell you how much better it is.

I use to commute to Santa Ana via the 57. I started early than you but one day I did hit the 57s after 7AM and there was a lot more traffic/accidents as you approach Brea. Going home (I am glad I do not commute this anymore, fawk the 57 in the afternoon) use the 57 till Pathfinder or Diamond Bar Blvd to Brea Canyon cut off. Then on to Valley or take Pathfinder to Nogales.

I travel on 57 n/b in the morning. From what I see, 57 S/B usually bad news in the morning. Good luck!
