When I lived in west Los Angeles, I always sought out local less traveled streets, which were generally plentiful. However, to get from point A to point B in San Diego County, one frequently has to use a busy, fast prime arterial, because slower and quieter local streets are generally not interconnected into an extensive, useful grid.
