Driving to Disney’s New Cars Land is a Bumper-to-Bumper Adventure

June 20, 2012 - PRLog -- Traffic411.com, one of the original sites to deliver on-demand traffic updates via the web and wireless is offering travelers visiting Disneyland and other Southern California destinations tips for avoiding gridlock traffic on the area's busy freeways.

"When Cars Land at Disney's California Adventure opened last weekend, drivers across Southern California were warned that the 5 freeway, which runs past Disneyland, would be packed with cars heading to Disneyland," said Lisa Osborne, a Los Angeles radio personality and founder of Traffic411.  "Drivers across Southern California this summer, can save time in the car by using alternate routes to get around heavy traffic on the 5 freeway."

Southern California is famous for its crowded freeways.  It's not unusual for the Santa Ana (5) freeway to be a bumper-to bumper drive from Orange County to Los Angeles.  The long-awaited opening of Cars Land will add a lot more cars to the already busy freeway this summer.  

Osborne suggests using the 405 or 210 freeways, which offer more lanes and often less traffic, as alternates to the 5 freeway.  For details on how to get to Disneyland by avoiding the 5 freeway, click on the “Driving to Disney’s New Cars Land is a Bumper-to-Bumper Adventure" story on Traffic411.com.
