About this drive

On weekdays the 45-mile drive from Oceanside to Stamford (via Cross Island Pkwy North and Laurelton Pkwy North) usually takes as little as 72 minutes and up to 147 minutes, when leaving around 7:30 am on Thursdays. Midday (11 am to 2 pm) it takes about 112 minutes. On weekends it is slowest around 2 pm on Saturdays (125 minutes).

About 23 miles of it is freeway, where times follow typical and live traffic from our sensors, and about 22 miles surface streets (33 to 59 minutes on weekdays), estimated from how jammed the freeways around them are at that time. Drive times are measured from central Oceanside to central Stamford 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.
