Getting around Palmdale

Airport runs are the obvious one for Palmdale: the long SR-14 drive is tiring before dawn, and a chauffeur means no car sitting in airport parking for a week. Aerospace work around Air Force Plant 42 brings visiting engineers and managers who need rides between the airport, LA hotels and Palmdale, and locals book cars for nights out in Burbank or Hollywood and weekend trips to Las Vegas.

Good to know in Palmdale

1

On weekday mornings, southbound SR-14 fills with commuters headed for Santa Clarita and the Valley, and the merge onto I-5 at the Newhall Pass is the usual choke point.

2

In winter storms the Soledad Pass stretch of SR-14 near Acton occasionally sees snow or ice, so check conditions before an early-morning airport run.

3

Heading east toward Victorville or Las Vegas, long sections of Pearblossom Highway (SR-138) past Littlerock are two-lane, so slow trucks can stretch the trip.
