How long will it take me to commute from Hayward to Santa Clara during commute a.m. traffic?

Question

I may have to commute to Santa Clara for work. I live in Hayward and need to arrive @ work by 8:30 a.m.; does anyone have this same commute? Can you advise me on length of drive time in the a.m. hours? Thank you :)

Answer 1

Depending on where in Santa Clara you are going, it is 30+ miles from Hayward.  In rush hour traffic you will be lucky to average 30 mph.

Give your self more than one hour for the first couple of days until you can get a felling what the actual travel time turns out to be.
