Thousand Oaks sits in the Conejo Valley between the LA basin and the Oxnard Plain. According to the California Department of Transportation, US-101 through the Conejo Pass and Thousand Oaks is one of the most consistently congested freeway segments in Ventura County, with daily commuter loads concentrated in both directions because the city sits on the only major freeway connecting the Pacific Coast and the SFV.
Caltrans data shows US-101 through Thousand Oaks consistently among California's busiest commuter freeway segments outside the LA basin, with daily volumes well over 200,000 vehicles per day in peak segments. The Conejo Pass climb between Camarillo and Thousand Oaks is one of the most accident-prone freeway grades in Ventura County, with the combination of grade, volume, and weather transitions producing frequent incidents.
US-101 Through Thousand Oaks
US-101 (the Ventura Freeway) runs east-west through Thousand Oaks, climbing the Conejo Pass from Camarillo and descending into Westlake Village toward the SFV. It's the city's primary commute corridor and the main artery between Ventura County and the LA basin.
US-101 Through Thousand Oaks
- Borchard Road / Newbury Park — Western Thousand Oaks, the Conejo Pass top
- Wendy Drive / Lynn Road — Major mid-city commercial junction
- Moorpark Road — Central Thousand Oaks exit, mall and college access
- Hampshire Road — Eastern Thousand Oaks, SR-23 split
- Westlake Boulevard — Westlake Village transition
- Lindero Canyon Road — Eastern boundary toward Agoura Hills
The Conejo Pass climb is one of the most accident-prone grades on US-101. The combination of slow trucks, the elevation change between Camarillo (sea level area) and Thousand Oaks (800+ feet), and frequent weather transitions (coastal fog at the bottom, sun at the top) produces predictable incidents. Cameras through the pass show actual conditions before drivers commit.

- Moorpark Road: Central north-south, the Thousand Oaks Mall corridor
- Westlake Boulevard: Eastern north-south, Westlake Village transition

BUILD YOUR ROUTE →Traffic Patterns
Thousand Oaks rush hours are extended because of the LA-bound commute. Eastbound US-101 morning peak runs 6:00-9:30 AM with the Westlake transition as the heaviest crunch. Westbound afternoon peak runs 3:30-7:30 PM with the Conejo Pass climb producing predictable slowdowns. Saturday US-101 westbound afternoon traffic surges during summer beach weekends.
Weather and Driving Hazards
Wildfire is a major concern in the Santa Monica Mountains and the Conejo Valley. Multiple major fires (Woolsey, Springs, Easy) have burned through the area and forced US-101 closures. Cameras on the freeway and surface routes show smoke, active fire, and visibility conditions during red-flag warnings.
Marine layer fog affects the Conejo Pass during late spring and early summer mornings. Santa Ana wind events in fall produce strong gusts that can topple high-profile vehicles on the pass.
Major Events
California Lutheran University events, the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza performance season, the Westlake Village Inn events, and the annual Concerts in the Park series all create localized event traffic. The Borchard Park Concerts and Conejo Valley Days generate predictable arterial surges.
Conejo Valley Tech and Bio Corridor
Thousand Oaks hosts a significant biotech and aerospace cluster — Amgen, Baxalta, and major contractors. These employers produce shifted commute patterns that overlay typical office hours, with significant rideshare and shuttle activity contributing to the surface arterial flow.
