Burbank is the entertainment capital of the western United States — a small city by population but a defining traffic node thanks to the studio cluster, the airport, and three major freeways converging within or immediately adjacent to the city. According to the California Department of Transportation, the I-5 / SR-134 / I-405 freeway zone encompassing Burbank is among the most heavily monitored in the LA basin.
Caltrans data shows I-5 through Burbank consistently among California's busiest interstate segments, with daily volumes well over 250,000 vehicles per day. SR-134 (the Ventura Freeway) carries an additional 200,000+ vehicles, with peak loads driven by daily studio commutes — Disney, Warner Bros., NBCUniversal, ABC, and Cartoon Network all employ tens of thousands of workers across the Burbank entertainment cluster.
I-5 Through Burbank
I-5 (the Golden State Freeway) runs north-south through the eastern half of Burbank, connecting downtown LA (south) to the SFV and on to Santa Clarita and central California (north). It's a perpetual congestion corridor and a primary commuter route.
I-5 Through Burbank
- Western Avenue / SR-134 — The major junction, the I-5 / SR-134 interchange
- Olive Avenue / Verdugo Avenue — Major Burbank exit, downtown access
- Buena Vista Street — Disney Studios access
- Burbank Boulevard — Northern Burbank exit
- Hollywood Way — The airport-area access
The I-5 / SR-134 interchange in eastern Burbank is one of the most complex multi-freeway junctions in the LA basin. A single incident at this cluster cascades for miles in all four directions. Cameras around the interchange show whether the bottleneck is the merge itself or upstream conditions on either freeway.

SR-134 runs east-west across the southern edge of Burbank, connecting Glendale (east) to North Hollywood, Studio City, and the 101 (west). It's the primary commute route for studio workers traveling between the SFV and the Glendale / Pasadena corridor.
- SR-134 / I-5 interchange: Eastern Burbank, the major junction
- Pass Avenue / Hollywood Way: Studio cluster access
- Buena Vista Street: Disney Studios
- Forest Lawn Drive: Western Burbank, the cemetery and SFV transition
- Cahuenga Boulevard / 101 split: Western terminus
SR-134 vs. The 101
For trips to the western SFV, SR-134 west to the 101 is the direct route. For trips to West Hollywood and central LA, the 101 south is shorter. Cameras on both freeways make the choice obvious — particularly during studio shift change windows.
Hollywood Burbank Airport (BUR)
Hollywood Burbank Airport sits on the city's northwestern edge, accessed via Hollywood Way and Empire Avenue. The airport's traffic patterns differ significantly from LAX — peak loads correspond with regional flight schedules and produce predictable surges on Hollywood Way and the I-5 / Hollywood Way interchange.
Studio Industry Traffic
Burbank's identity is shaped by its entertainment cluster. The major studios produce significant rotating-shift traffic that doesn't follow typical office hours:
- Warner Bros. Studios: Olive Avenue, Pass Avenue
- Walt Disney Studios: Buena Vista Street, Riverside Drive
- NBCUniversal: Bob Hope Drive (Universal City just west)
- ABC Studios: Riverside Drive
- Cartoon Network / Nickelodeon: Olive Avenue cluster
Cameras at the studio gates and the I-5 / SR-134 interchange show traffic during call times (typically 5:00-9:00 AM) and end-of-day wraps (frequently late evening).
Surface Streets and Surface Routes
When the freeways slow, Burbank's grid takes the load:
- Olive Avenue: Primary east-west, downtown spine
- Magnolia Boulevard: Mid-city east-west, commercial corridor
- Riverside Drive: Studio cluster spine
- Buena Vista Street: Disney access, north-south
- Alameda Avenue: Eastern north-south, Glendale boundary
- Hollywood Way: Western north-south, airport feeder
Users can also monitor live street feeds along Olive Avenue, Magnolia Boulevard, and Hollywood Way to spot signal cascades during studio call-time surges, premiere events, and Bob Hope Airport flight peaks.

BUILD YOUR ROUTE →Traffic Patterns
Burbank rush hours are extended because of the studio commute and airport-related flow. Morning peak runs 5:30-9:30 AM with strong I-5 and SR-134 inbound flows. Afternoon peak runs 3:30-7:30 PM. Studio call times layer separate peaks throughout the day — early-morning crew calls (often 4:00-6:00 AM) and late-evening wraps don't fit typical commute windows. Avoiding traffic in Burbank requires understanding both rhythms.
Weather and Driving Hazards
Wildfire in the Verdugo Mountains and the Angeles National Forest can affect Burbank with smoke and rare evacuation events. Santa Ana wind events in fall produce hot, dry conditions and bring inland fire smoke to the SFV.
Marine layer fog is rare in Burbank but can affect early-morning commute conditions.
Major Events
Movie premieres at the Disney Lot, Warner Bros. tours, NBC tapings (Tonight Show, Voice), and major broadcast events all create localized event traffic. The annual Burbank International Film Festival, Magnolia Park Holiday Lighting, and major airport-related events generate predictable arterial surges.
