@soundersbloke widening the roads by 1 lane each time wont help. you can take care of the traffic problem by wideing lanes also. you just gotta let the civil engineers do their part and not complain about the price tag. for this traffic the best option is to have sets 5, 8 or perhaps 10, 6 lane underground tunnels. It will solve your problem.
I went to a couple of M50 videos on You Tube to get an idea - seems snow is big problem for the M50 - when I think of Ireland i think of rain but not snow. I am part Irish ancestry.
@videorizing The M50 Highway is now upgraded but during last December's blizzard, it was absolute chaos! People had to sleep in their cars overnight, some even abandoned their cars in the middle of the Highway. Owning a car over here is expensive because of environmental taxes on gas plus an annual car tax. It's good to see L.A during rush hour because I'm actually visiting my brother over there in a week!
Yes - all the freeways have the merging traffic light on the ramps. Have had them for years. Not unusual to have 4 cars in front - waiting for green light. At some locations a message saying 3 cars can leave at green.
I don't know if Atlanta is as bad, but we're not far behind on the list. And I don't know if you have ramp meters in LA or not, but its the stupidest idea yet. It's basically a traffic light on a freeway/highway on ramp. So instead of speeding up to merge with traffic..you stop, before merging. And it doesn't do anything, besides back up already congested side roads..and it doesn't help with traffic at all...= waste of time and tax payer money.
@mnetrucker - The ramp meters stop a line of 20 cars merging on the freeway at once, causing the main flow of freeway traffic to slow as everyone merges. I know for a fact they work because i see them in action every day. They turn off when traffic on the mainline freeway resumes normal speed.
Ours in atlanta doesn't stop a line of 20 cars. It turns green, and red for each individual car. So each car must stop, wait for a green light, then proceed. I just run em, till the day they get camera's or cops there, that's what I'll do. It was tax payers money wasted on a stupid light, when it should be spent on trying to figure out better ways of keeping traffic flowing and easing congestion. =)
L.A. is a very awesome city but there are other cities that have more worse traffic than this. And does L.A. have traffic 24 hours a day? I bet not. Shanghai, NEw york, SAo paulo and many other cities have more traffic.
@cdh4099 If you have a good thermostat and full coolant with no leaks and everything works as it should to keep your engine cool, you ain't gotta worry about it! LOL
I'm from London, where all the roads are single lane. Driving, it takes me 2 1/2 hours to get to work 12 miles away. I'm moving to L.A next year so this ain't so bad for me.
That's some crazy traffic. I'm a new yorker and I've been in some crazy traffic like that many many times. The long island expressway would be the equivalent to the traffic in this video. Every major city is gonna have terrible rush hour traffic no matter how you slice it.
i love how people are saying "oh you should see how it is over here, or over there." HELLO PEOPLE THIS IS LA EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT THE SHITTY TRAFFIC BUT YOU LEARN TO LOVE IT BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER LEAVE LA. WE GOT EVERYTHING HERE, AND THE WORST TRAFFIC BECAUSE ERRBODY LIVE OUT HERE.
@HoofPrintedHeart88 bullshit, LA is like this at least 22 hours a day. This shit is consistantly bad. Even on the weekends I've been stuck for hours on the 405 or the 101. You guys in other cities like Chicago for example at least get the benefit of off peak hours. Drive through LA at 11pm and Chicago at 11pm and tell me what's worse.
This brings back memories... of the '80s when I lived there, or one of half-dozen times I've been back since then, including for two weeks last month.
In general, the farthest left non-diamond lane is usually the worst one to be in from a progress standpoint. If you can't use the diamond lane(s), the middle non-diamond lanes usually move the best.
Is mostly called the 110 -- still is the Harbor Freeway - which name to my memory was what most called it way back. Now 110 seems to be universal. Behind me in the video it blends into the Pasadena Freeway - or you go left onto the Hollywood Freeway.
Thats one thing i hate about any city in America is the traffic! no matter where you drive in N.Y L.A ,Chicago, Houston, Phoenix,Philadelphia expect to pack a dinner!
@danielnunn,but these LA lanes are bigger than those in NYC.Also in NYC,everything is so closed in,that you could ride the subway or take the bus besides driving.
Air quality only gets bad in the inland empire, ie the butthole of LA county, and that's only when there's massive forest fires. Oh and to the nightlife, yes downtown closes early because it has a rampant bum/transience problem, but Hollywood, Santa Monica, Westwood, even in the south bay like manhattan and redondo beach, the night life there is always crackin, so please make sure you go somewhere besides downtown on your yearly visit here, and then your credibility would be just a little bette
@sepherstar what markets were you trying to shop at? Trader joes? Every major grocery store is open till at least 11:30, Ralphs is even open 24/7. And by the city being gridlocked, which part? Downtown gets pretty traffic heavy but there's WAY more to the city than downtown that's not gridlocked at those hours.
Whatever, LA still has any other city in the country beat on the amount of freeways, our freeways are our subways, and yes there's traffic at rush hour just like any other city, but they're still a lifeline. Just within LA county there's the 110, 105, 405, 91, 90, 101, 710, 5, 605, 134, 2, 60, 10, 170, and the 210. Take that New York City, Chicago, and Atlanta combined!
@localsonly100 watch the video above^^^ you sure you want to say LA has those cities beat, because you guys obviously have transportation issues, NYC takes all your useless freeways & does something efficient called the SUBWAY, other cities have many trans. OPTIONS, & that's why they have LA beat. I'm just sayinnn LA does seem nice tho i'd still like to move there.
No trouble - lots of car rental outfits at airport - the street scene is downtown Los Angeles at rush hour - you will probably not be spending your time there - while traffic in Southern California is heavy - driving to Disneyland for instance at non rush hour should be fine - and staying at hotel around there and then driving to San Diego for instance will not be like downtown Los Angeles.
@HeeVindinho Whenever. I've been on the freeway after 10 pm and was able to open my car door, get out, run a lap around my car and get back in before driving another inch.
@NaruSasuFreakYOSH Not from L.A., but have visited. You need a car in L.A. No way around it. Even with parking fees it's the cheapest option. Everything you'll want to see is too spread out, public transit is spotty at best, and you'd spend a fortune on taxi rides. It's the complete opposite of NYC, where you'd be a fool to rent a car.
Like any city with lots of traffic, you just need to plan your travel times and routes carefully to avoid the nightmare shown in this video. It can be done.
@NaruSasuFreakYOSH - the surface streets are really straight forward because most of LA is a grid and most of the streets are pretty wide. avoid morning and afternoon rush, or ask a local first. stay off the 405! try to avoid getting off the freeway in the older areas between LA and long beach/orange county. hehe. if he's an experienced and patient driver he'll be fine. tell him driving 70-75 on the freeways is encouraged when safe.
The surface street which is one block over and runs parallel - is jammed also. Rush hour all over is brutal on all streets - but the very worst at all times of day may be west side area of city. Some distance from this freeway in video.
Are the surface streets any better? Or are they just as backed up with drivers trying to avoid the freeway? I don't necessarily mean only in downtown, I mean around the metro area.
@yourwifecalledagain I seen drivers doing that, and it was kinda funny. I know its illegal but maybe there's no cops present during rush hour? It would be classed as a form of road rage where I live.
This is the 110 -- Harbor Freeway. This traffic continues on the parralel surface street one block over - they try to avoid freeway traffic - but at rush hour surface street is heavy.
Theres atleast 20 celebs in those cars and rest mexicans. And about 13/20 those celebs are going to party. The mexicans are going to mess up L.A more.
@SlimLPShady you racist fuck. so what if we mexicans fuck LA up its always been ours anyways and by the way white people treat us we want to fuck it up more we just dont care anymore if you dont like it then leave USA cus we are gonna fuck it all up, oh its true. its damm true.
I suggest you look up history. It was never yours. The Mexicans that did live here assimilated and people in Modern Day Mexico have no ties to it. Not like it matters anyway you people can't without violence and self destruction. Your going to fail just like brown people worldwide.
This is close to where I live. I'm on this freeway every weekday and it does get packed. L.A. ppl, you know you start thinking about the freeway situation at 3pm even though you won't be out till 2 or 3 hours from then. Only time the freeway isnt that congested is between 11pm and 5am Sun-Thurs. On Friday's and Saturday's it'll still be pretty bad since everyone is going out to party.
@Timsierramist I would have to take several buses to get to the Metrolink or Subway, and neither of them go anywhere near where my clients live. Traffic for me! :-/
Yes build a rapid transit system in TBM-bored tunnels so the people who don't mind fighting on trains and strangers staring at them can go to work like that, and the people like me who like some privacy can enjoy less traffic on the freeways. Just don't take my tax dollars to pay for cheap transport. Charge what it really costs.
@nipzilla im with u but im from indiana and theirs really nothin 2 do in indianapolis besides going 2 a colts game or somethin, yeah and it rains here alot 2
@eric251982 Because it's air quality sucks, there's no free parking, the city is gridlocked between 4pm and 7pm, it actually DOESN'T have a night life, and the markets close at 10:30pm?
If you want unusually lite traffic - my new video - "Warner Brothers Studio To Downtown Los Angeles On Hollywood Freeway" will do it - taken on a Sat. morning about 7 AM.
I avoid this freeway at rush hour - for instance - from downtown to Hollywood i take Figueroa to Sunset - and head to Hollywood all the way on Sunset.. Figueroa is also very busy at rush hour.
Just for future reference for whenever I get a chance to visit LA, if the freeway is slow like this, would I make better time getting off and using the surface streets, or are they just as congested?
You cannot compare Austin traffic to L.A.'s. Austin has a metropolitan population of 1 million people, L.A. on the other hand has a metropolitan population of 13 million people.
I was in L.A. last week and it is crazy. when traffic is fluid they drive over 70 miles per hour.
Actually trucks are still allowed on this part of the Harbor 110 but must detour to the 101 hollywood freeway. Once you pass the 101 trucks are not permitted at all. Either because of the clearance on the tunnels that are on the 110 near Dodger stadium or the curves near pasadena.
Ya'll people that live in L.A, you should see Austin at rush hour. Its bumper to bumper on I-35, and Austin traffic is terrible, so there are a lot of wrecks during rush hour.(How so many people crash even though they are bumper to bumper beats me)
There are a lot of things I love about L.A and Southern California but 'car culture' really puts a damper on all of it. Only if L.A had London's underground subway system it would be perfect.
Update on no trucks as mentioned previously - source tells me no trucks allowed on this road 24/7 - or else large ticket. There is a freeway 5 that loops around downtown for all vehicles including large trucks.
thats nothin compared to tampa lol

I suggest you look up history. It was never yours. The Mexicans that did live here assimilated and people in Modern Day Mexico have no ties to it. Not like it matters anyway you people can't without violence and self destruction. Your going to fail just like brown people worldwide.

This is close to where I live. I'm on this freeway every weekday and it does get packed. L.A. ppl, you know you start thinking about the freeway situation at 3pm even though you won't be out till 2 or 3 hours from then. Only time the freeway isnt that congested is between 11pm and 5am Sun-Thurs. On Friday's and Saturday's it'll still be pretty bad since everyone is going out to party.

@Timsierramist I would have to take several buses to get to the Metrolink or Subway, and neither of them go anywhere near where my clients live. Traffic for me! :-/

Yes build a rapid transit system in TBM-bored tunnels so the people who don't mind fighting on trains and strangers staring at them can go to work like that, and the people like me who like some privacy can enjoy less traffic on the freeways. Just don't take my tax dollars to pay for cheap transport. Charge what it really costs.

enlarging the freeway is a weak solution. public authorities should consider densifying urban areas and build a massive public transit system.

Agreed. Look at NYC, with a high population density and a giant subway system.

@eric251982 Because it's air quality sucks, there's no free parking, the city is gridlocked between 4pm and 7pm, it actually DOESN'T have a night life, and the markets close at 10:30pm?
Yep, great city. Not.

If you want unusually lite traffic - my new video - "Warner Brothers Studio To Downtown Los Angeles On Hollywood Freeway" will do it - taken on a Sat. morning about 7 AM.

The traffic is really bad at certain times.
There is no real way to avoid it if you drive.
Cars, quakes and more won't keep me from being in L.A.
It is the best city in the world.

yea i hope so then the freeways will be more clear for me =] lol
not to knock the metro or trying to make trans more efficient and less harsh on the environment
but i love driving too much to take the bus when i got a perfectly good car in my drive

While another day goes down the drain....."
and so on.....D:

I avoid this freeway at rush hour - for instance - from downtown to Hollywood i take Figueroa to Sunset - and head to Hollywood all the way on Sunset.. Figueroa is also very busy at rush hour.

Just for future reference for whenever I get a chance to visit LA, if the freeway is slow like this, would I make better time getting off and using the surface streets, or are they just as congested?

You cannot compare Austin traffic to L.A.'s. Austin has a metropolitan population of 1 million people, L.A. on the other hand has a metropolitan population of 13 million people.
I was in L.A. last week and it is crazy. when traffic is fluid they drive over 70 miles per hour.

Trucks aren't allowed onto the 110. If heading into downtown from the 5, part of the truck route is using Figueroa.

Actually trucks are still allowed on this part of the Harbor 110 but must detour to the 101 hollywood freeway. Once you pass the 101 trucks are not permitted at all. Either because of the clearance on the tunnels that are on the 110 near Dodger stadium or the curves near pasadena.
briangzm 2 years ago
Ya'll people that live in L.A, you should see Austin at rush hour. Its bumper to bumper on I-35, and Austin traffic is terrible, so there are a lot of wrecks during rush hour.(How so many people crash even though they are bumper to bumper beats me)
TheCityofLiberty 2 years ago
That's the Harbor Freeway forya.
There are a lot of things I love about L.A and Southern California but 'car culture' really puts a damper on all of it. Only if L.A had London's underground subway system it would be perfect.
Juliansworld 2 years ago
Update on no trucks as mentioned previously - source tells me no trucks allowed on this road 24/7 - or else large ticket. There is a freeway 5 that loops around downtown for all vehicles including large trucks.
