About this drive

On weekdays the 69-mile drive from Corona to Lakewood (via NY-440 South and I-495 West and I-278 South) usually takes as little as 94 minutes and up to 233 minutes, when leaving around 8:30 pm on Wednesdays. The fastest times to leave are before 6 am. Midday (11 am to 2 pm) it takes about 136 minutes. On weekends it is slowest around 11:30 am on Saturdays (148 minutes).

About 40 miles of it is freeway, where times follow typical and live traffic from our sensors, and about 28 miles surface streets (48 to 176 minutes on weekdays), estimated from how jammed the freeways around them are at that time. Drive times are measured from central Corona to central Lakewood 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.
