traffic gets really bad around 6pm in the walnut creek area. you should be ok if you leave your house by 4-430 to be safe.

hey man, you gotta hear from someone going your direction. As far as i can tell it is one of the worst.....maybe 4-430 is like the last time but that gets so backed up and horrible. Watch sigalert and that shows u as well.

the only traffic you will hit is at the tunnel. Don't be little of it. At that time there are two tunnels open in that direction, but I always see a long *** line for people going east bound. Bart is probably faster.
