What to expect on the roads this route covers

This route briefly joins CA-91 East, the Gardena Freeway, then exits onto I-710 North toward Pasadena before dropping back onto city streets, a real freeway merge and exit packed into the first third of the drive. Atlantic Avenue and Del Amo Boulevard are both classed primary, more traffic than the rest of the route, and South Santa Fe Avenue's return stretch is the longest single segment at 2.20 miles. Compton College sits near the CA-91 on-ramp this route uses early on, so expect campus-related traffic and pedestrians around that stretch.

Tips for this specific route

• Get comfortable with the freeway merge and exit early. This route briefly joins CA-91 East, the Gardena Freeway, then exits onto I-710 North toward Pasadena, both within the first third of the drive.
• Treat Atlantic Avenue and Del Amo Boulevard as the busiest parts of your drive. Both are classed primary, more traffic than the residential and secondary streets that make up the rest of the loop.
• Settle into a steady pace on the return stretch of South Santa Fe Avenue. It's the longest single segment on the route at 2.20 miles.
• Watch for campus traffic near Compton College. It sits close to the CA-91 on-ramp this route uses early on.
• Drive smoothly and confidently. Hesitation at intersections is marked the same way poor decision making is.
