From south and west of the 405 / 10 interchange: Straight out the 1 into Oxnard, then north on Rose to the 101. Slam dunk. I do it regularly. One can also head up Las Virgenes off of 1 to the 101. It's the straightest of the north-south roads through the Malibu canyons. Just give yourself an extra half hour from the Gardena area.

I suppose it can't be any slower than the 405 even on a "good" day.
I'll need more than an extra 1/2 hour though...since I live in Nevada...;p I was just curious since the media is making it sound like the world is actually ending in LA.
Hope y'all enjoy the races and don't get stuck in traffic.
