David, DR. ROADMAP, Rizzo burst upon the traffic scene in late 1987 as the first person in Los Angeles to offer alternate routes to motorists who were sick and tired of being stuck in traffic. In 1990 he released to the world the most comprehensive guide ever written of off-freeway commuting in Southern California. Two years later he became the first traffic reporter to offer daily alternate routes in real time over the air on one of the most popular morning radio shows in Los Angeles. Dr. Roadmap continues to provide COMMUTE MANAGEMENT solutions with the 2006 release of his book, "Survive the Drive! How to Beat Freeway Traffic in Southern California."

Host:Should I turn my car off when I am stuck in traffic?
David Rizzo: There is a guideline to answer this question and it's 60 seconds. If you are going to be stopped for than a minute and you know you are going to be stopped, shut your car off. If it's like 45-50 seconds like a long light that just drives you nuts, hang in there because starting your car uses extra gas and it's wasted in fact. But if you in line of the fast food restaurant, the guy ahead of you have ordered 10 Burritos, shut it off, take your time or you get stuck behind a slow Freight, it's Freight Train shut your car off. Again keep in mind 60 seconds is the break-even point.
