Taking traffic into consideration, what time should I leave Walnut, CA to get to Glendale, CA at 7:30AM?

Question

I'm starting a new job tomorrow in Glendale, CA off the 5 freeway and I live in Walnut, CA off the 60 freeway. I know traffic is HELL at this time; what time should I leave my house to get to work at 7:30AM? Also, what is the best route to take? 60 to the 5; 10 to the 5; or 210 to 134? Thanks in advance!

Walnut is 30 miles away from Glendale.

Answer 1

Take the 60 W to either the 57 N or the 605 N
57 may take longer
Take to 210 W into Pasadena and stay on it until it becomes the 134, right around the Rose Bowl. Stay on the 134, bypass Eagle Rock, and exit either Glendale Ave, Brand/Central, Pacific, or San Fernando. If the job site is off the 5, San Fernando would be the best exit to take. Left and left.

Whatever you do, do NOT take the 60 to the 10, or the 5. You will be posting your resume on Monster by Thursday.

Give it at least an hour. If you are early, go to Porto's, in the 300 block of north Brand, for some really incredible baked yummies and killer coffee.

Answer 2

take the 210 to 134 no traffic that early in the morning at least not when i drove on it leave around 6 30 - 6 45 just to be on the safe side

Answer 3

Take the 60 to 610 then go north to 134.... go through Pasadena and there you are....Good old Glendale....you can exit on Brand blvd.
