Freeways, parking and rideshare

About Driving in Los Angeles

Los Angeles is spread out and many visitors hire a car, but traffic on the freeways is heavy at rush hour. Read parking signs carefully: restrictions change by time and day. For nights out, a rideshare saves you looking for parking.

Why it's on our list

  • Avoid rush hour
  • Read parking signs
  • Rideshare for nights out

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Driving in Los Angeles before you go.
