Best highway routes for Saturday arrivals

If you are arriving Saturday, please allow plenty of time for weekend and construction traffic. Known delays have been occurring in all these directions:

  • Southbound 101 at Prunedale (always congested; stop and go)
  • Southbound 101 at King City (construction; hit or miss)
  • Westbound 41 between Atascadero and Morro Bay (construction or accidents; hit or miss)
  • Southbound 1 between Cayucos and Morro Bay (single lane)
In other words, leave plenty of extra time for the drive, or better yet, consider entering Morro Bay via Northbound Highway 1 from San Luis Obispo. People driving from Los Angeles direction will use this route anyway. People driving from the Bay Area or Salinas Valley would need to add 5-10 minutes to their normal Morro Bay drive but would be much less likely to encounter delays.

Food for thought anyway...
