[@eliasmachalek4856]

The problem with the Pacific highway is also the fact it's much narrower than the other one... It's mostly a 2 lane highway which makes overtaking really difficult at times

[@amildlydisappointingsalad6058]

Im sure you can look ot up and find a 10 year old video asking the same question and demonstrating

[@callmetz7967]

The pacific route is also not very convenient because there’s lots of side roads that traffic can turn out and into, and they tend to do it directly in front of the player

[@MrPieguyDaBoss]

Definitely should have had traffic enabled as that is what most players will be playing with in online

[@maryedmonds4350]

I really enjoy these videos, as a pilot who very rarely drives in this game, it's cool seeing these times. I mostly stick to the air, and don't drive cars at all, though I've been playing long enough to know these routes. It's super cool seeing someone time these runs and see which one is better. I'll still be using the Los Santos Freeway during that casino Groupe Sechs setup tho

[@moinmn250]

@elpoodoo3099why should you drive 3min into the city when you can take a heli or a plane, and be there in half the time.

[@DoubledeckManwhich]

One other thing about the pacific highway is that it’s more dangerous too. Fort zancuto and the hangar businesses, then further down you get bunkers which is always busy from supply runs or selling

​@@Ty420It's a cannonball style race, you start on an island on the east side of the map, you swim to the lighhouse, run to the highway where you steal a car, you then drive to the Quarry, Airport, top of Mt Chiliad, Observatory before finishing on an island on the east side of the map. I have over 400 videos of them on my channel.

@@Ty420type in GTA GFred on KZbin. It’s basically a player-created triathlon style race across the map. The creator, Broughy, streams a race every weekend and posts it on here

[@SonoftheBread]

The train track route is also much faster because you curb boost constantly teetering on the rails. If you actually try to curb boost on the rails it's very fast.

[@frazerbarron5026]

you should try this going from peleto to LSIA or the docks

[@gottkaisersliver]

I always use the first highway, it's consitent, fast and comfortable to drive.

[@hambernat6444]

Train one is nice if you wanna argue with unmoveable object. So in summary, all are equally worthy. 1) Longest but straight, easy and peaceful 2) Coast Highway with many corners 3) Train tracks + Madrazzo, Fastest one if you willing to gamble 4) Most fun, fastest too, not easily repeatable (train -> offroad hills) (only fastest if you'll clear it perfectly) I wish there would be more tunnels in GTA.

[@JaCrispy3060]

This video just makes me want to play gta and drive

[@mattias.j]

I like going on the right via Senora Fwy, because it's a 4 lane highway and later splits into 2 different highways that take you to different parts of the city.

Thanks!

[@valdrastar]

As someone whose played FiveM forever, the fastest way is for sure the highway. The hills have too many turns, howeverrrrrr. Something a lot of people don't realize is the speed boosts you get from certain bumps at certain spots. For example, Vinewood blvd aka where the holywood sidewalk is has a VERY FAST speed boost bc of the bumps. So from the beach to the oil field area the fastest way is just sending it east then south. What's even crazier is the amount of speed boost bumps on the west side of the map on the highway. Crazy enough though if you start from Sandy Shores the fastest way to the city is not the highway, it's the road next to Harmony called Senora Rd on most RP servers. Only hurdle is a pre-coded cow that sometimes crosses the road.

[@smgwolfmanz]

Gfred/derfG lines FTW!

[@FFM0594]

I've never heard of Gfred but I know all those lines +1 where you come out by the Hollywood Bowl after getting off the train track and heading over the hills.

[@squilliamplays]

[@AGataDoGamesEduuu]

[@Mr.Pro-aksh26]

On the left side of Paleto, taking the Railway route is the best.

[@hamzaprivv]

needed this like 7 years ago

[@TheReaper955]

In the 7:15 you don't need to enter the ditch, keep going on the elevated green part on your right (you can recognize it in story mode by a few deers who are usually eating grass there) because depending on the vehicle you're driving you can't ramp up into the underpass in 7:30 Going through that elevated part you can cross the road smoothier and only then you jump into the ditch I know that because i did a lot of taxi missions on story mode and always used that route, also in the c()c1ne biker selling on online mode i use that route as well and both (taxi and bagger bike) can't ramp up the underpass

[@Thechefwhocooks]

For the 2nd route there are military jeeps which blend in with regular jeeps and cop interference can slow you

[@chrism9493]

The best routes to memorize are the winding roads that connect Vinewood with Sandy Shores. You often have to make a GPS marker only halfway to your destination in order for the game to give you one of those routes instead of just sending you to the closest highway.

[@zegamerz1980]

First one is what I usualy call the Scenic route as you are literally going around the map. In GTA online, I would usualy go with the third route (the road near Madrazzo's house is ususaly easy with traffic, you can go in the middle of the road and swerve just a little to avoid cars that come on alternating sides. Main thing is, never follow the GPS route as it is never the optimal route. this is something you learn through experience. The GPS will often send you on a route with 3 turns instead of 1 which loses you a lot of time

[@soupdragon12]

Real quickest method is to do one set up for the prison break heist and then when your at the top of the map ho to jobs and press on lesters continue heist thing and then leave the apartment

[@The_Alpha_E]

No

[@Owensti]

No. The fastest way to travel is to job teleport. Can take you anywhere on the map in less than 20 seconds.

[@yone3249]

​@@OwenstiDoes job tp still works?

[@Sweden_Gaming8416]

I would say the first route is actually the best since its firstly a 1+2 lane highway then its a 2+2 highway (with at-level intersections/crossings which is a downside) And then it turns into a 2+2 controlled access highway which is the best highway type! Since there is no at-level intersections/crossings! And you can go really fast!

[@jorishenger1240]

The third route is also the one used in speedrunning for Lamar Down, although i havent really kept up so maybe they use another route now

[@TheeIdol]

I always use the train track from paleto then drive off the railroad into the road near the route 68 bunker then left into the road that goes past madrazos ranch and I'm in the city

[@TheeIdol]

Oh snap I hadn't completed the video when I commented. The 3rd one is the identical route I take

[@jaycollin5543]

Thank you. I will be using this to get from my arcade to the city now.

[@DLGaming2002]

Whenever I do the Submarine heist for the Chop Shop, I always take the train tracks from Paleto Bay to the desert for two reasons; 1, As shown in the video, it's a bit quicker, and 2, good lord it's almost impossible to escape the police.

[@Onestileshome]

Omg imma use this

[@Bracke-n]

The route in the title of the video is what I take most of the time when im doing the tow truck job

[@BannedPlushie]

I just think the idea of a open world map being 3 or so minutes from one end to the other is just insane. Especially how old the game is.

[@kevinschulze5258]

I always felt the road that passes madrazzos ranch by the casino is the fastest

[@newdefsys]

Too bad Rockstar didnt include an airfield in Paleto Bay and a general aviation airport in Los Santos, because aircraft are definitely the quickest way around the map.

[@ZirkleTheMan]

I always wondered why there was no airfield at the top of the map

[@LegosAreFood]

I go right. It’s the only right way

[@Pusen04]

I see what you did there

[@11bornrich]

SEO Request Luxury Helicopter fast travels to your office in the city, you can spawn Raiju, Sparrow etc.

[@yoshimalik]

[@Jay_Mac1775]

I almost always take the mountain route to get from Paleto to since I always enjoy practicing throttle and brake control/mix. Also driving through the chiliad tunnel reminds me of the first avengers movie

[@TheOzzyBear]

One option I don’t see people mention, Lester Heist message. Anytime he messages me for the next heist prep (the og heist) I’ll click on the mission to start and then It’ll respawn me into my apartment same session and I just need to cancel it. Use it mostly to get away from griefers. My guess it’s not mentioned is cuz many either don’t know or it does kinda need to be an available option as well as it won’t always show up right away.

[@nicksivert5431]

I always used the right side highway when it came to the Bunker delivery mission that involves the Phantom Wedge. Especially, when the delivery point is at the airport. Because the AP is on the right side of the city, to me, it's a bit counter intuitive to use (what the GPS says) the left highway when you have to cut through the city to get to it.

[@YaretziaGarcia]

4th route: call in the Raiju and fly to the city and call in my car once I get to the city

[@Kennwaaa]

this is fucking insane because we’ve all played this game for over a decade and i’ve never once had this thought in my head but i think it does depend on where you want to go. if you follow the coastline i think it’s faster, if you go towards paleto bay i think it’s way longer or atleast feels that way but it’s less traffic and if you go through the mountains gg

[@Blank578]

The best route is by far the left side because it is the least risky because it has no off roding as well as no turns and is only about 12 seconds slower than the middle paths which have a high chance of a crash occurring

[@EenGamer.]

@Blank578 exactly, especially when using HSW cars on next gen or speed glitches

[@ChaotiX1]

Fastest method: set spawn location to the city, find new lobby

[@Jakobly]

surprised to see nobody mentioning the police station in paleto bay which has a helicopter spawn at ground level and you don’t get a wanted level for taking it

[@alejandromunozpaz4036]

The train route is the best one to beat Trevor in the paleto bank prep heist

[@woochuck2994]

If you want to get from paleto to city as much as possible, take plane.

[@moistwettie]

Probably depends on the player and their properties. Most of my properties are in paleto bay or on the left side of the city so I often use the highway on the left side of the map. However if I’m trying to reach the casino from paleto bay I’ll take the highway on the right side.

[@jp86]

Me personally i just open the interaction menu, open service vehicles, kosatka, sparrow and cut across

[@JDubblesify]

I'm pretty sure they mainly test this stuff for missions where you can't use aircraft.

[@starzz_andre]

If I wanna drive normally I take the street way, if I wanna take the fleeca job I tske the right, and if I wanna go FAST I’ll go left, no wrong

[@siramoras]

Quickest method is to buy a house in Paleto Bay. And one in the City or have a business there. Set spawn location to City. Find new session. 👌 30 seconds to teleport back home. And vice versa to Paleto Bay 😂

[@E.Nnn89]

The answer to this all is changing your spawnpoint to a safehouse in the city and find a new session😂

[@Owensti]

Been using that for years. Absolutely the fastest way to get across the map.

[@duckyboy4329]

wondering if the 3rd route being faster is only because of the near constant curb boost you do on the train tracks

[@EenGamer.]
