About this drive

On weekdays the 55-mile drive from Burbank to Oxnard (via US-101 North) usually takes as little as 56 minutes and up to 73 minutes, when leaving around 5 pm on Tuesdays.

About 42 miles of it is freeway, where times follow typical and live traffic from our sensors, and about 13 miles surface streets (21 to 31 minutes on weekdays), estimated from how jammed the freeways around them are at that time. Drive times are measured from central Burbank (East Olive Avenue) to central Oxnard (East 5th Street) along the route on the map. Starting or ending elsewhere in a big city can add or save several minutes.

Simulated from typical freeway speeds at each point of the drive for the time you would reach it, from every 5-minute reading we have recorded. We don't have sensors on surface streets yet, so the time on them is estimated from how congested the freeways around each end of the drive are at that time, in both directions: streets jam when the freeways do.
