I’m on this freeway all the time… and like several people have said, rush hour is awful. Driving to Vegas on a Friday night… forget it. Coming back to San Diego on Sunday… forget it. Some of the entrance/exist routes were clearly designed by third grade engineers, but hey. that’s all of California freeways. There are carpool lanes which makes things a bit better. I’ll use it often. Like most San Diegans, I don’t have a choice!

I use the 15 anytime I’m going to Temecula or to San Diego. I drove to Vegas one time and that will be the last time because of the traffic. If you’re in San Diego in the morning and need to go North on the 15 it’s pretty brutal. Also if you’re going South during rush hour I feel sorry for you. The 15 has at least 4 lanes each way so that’s nice and in some areas there are carpool lanes. The 15 may not be as busy as the 5 but it can get busy at times so keep that in mind especially during the Chargers games.

It’s a freeway. It gets you where you need to go. Rush hour going south in the morning, rush hour going south in the evening. Take this to Mexico or up towards Vegas. Your choice!

in sd, it’s a nice big 10-lane freeway with carpool lanes and the works. in good condition. between sd and la, it gets narrower, but the traffic doesn’t seem to be as bad as the 5.
