San Diego Traffic Overview
San Diego is a relatively modern city. Most of the area’s development took place after the interstate highway system was built. As a result, the width of highway construction was not constrained by earlier development, allowing the system to include at least 4 to 5 lanes going in each direction. Combined with the state highway system, most of San Diego can be reached in a short driving time from anywhere else in San Diego. If you ask someone how long it will take to get from point A to point B, the typical response will be 10 – 20 minutes. With the following exceptions and notes about common traffic choke points, that response should be quite accurate.
How to Prepare for San Diego Weather
San Diego is known for having the best weather in the United States and one of the best climates in the world. It rarely gets too hot, never gets too cold, and averages only 10 inches of rain a year.
Even during the winter, San Diego can have perfect beach weather. When these perfect days occur, the local Union Tribune newspaper enjoys publishing pictures that contrast the weather between San Diego and the rest of the country.
