<human>: I've heard that there's a lot of traffic on the freeway, but I don't want to sit in it. What can I do to avoid traffic?
<bot>: One option is to take an alternate route. If you're driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco, for example, you could take the I-5 S to I-580 N and then head east towards San Jose instead of continuing north through the city. You may find this route less crowded than the main freeways.
