You can't get thru L.A. without running into some kind of traffic. Pacific Coast Hway (Hway 1) is a joke from Santa Monica to San Diego. Very slow, traffic, stop signs. The freeways all throughout L.A. are very good, but not at traffic time. Simply don't travel on them from 6:30 am to 9:30 am or 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm. They will get tangled. Riding a motorcycle you are allowed to ride in the car pool lanes which is a big help. And it is legal (acctually not illegal) to lane share (split traffic). However I don't suggest it to a novice, it is an acquired skill, and there are lots of do's and don't you should consider before attempting it.
If you just want to blow thru LA to San Diego do it very early in the morning or at night and it is a piece of cake.
