  • My dad was there in the 80's and appairently it has gotten way busier since then lol

  • We went to LA a year ago for March Break. We got into LAX at 10:30 and didn't get out of the airport until mid night. We had to get onto the 405 to get to our hotel. At mid night it was bumper to bumper but we were doing about 90 KM/H(around 65 MPH). Not even highway speed in Canada(100KM/H but everyone does 120 on the 401 lol). Then we had to leave the hotel at 7:00 AM so we could get to Santa Monica before 2:00. We were stuck in traffic for 2 hours.

  • Holy f***.

  • Music is DJ spire, right?

    

  • Yeaaaayyyyy pollution........ -__- '

  • Holy sh*t...and I thought I had it bad in Atlanta. FML if I had to live there! And umm....where's the shoulder of the highway, in case of break downs/wrecks. I don't really see one in this picture. And how do emergency crews get by in that mess! That's insane! 

  • wow!! thats crazy..

  • Umm, I think LA needs to focus on some public transport and less sprawl. I bet a lot of people driving in the LA traffic ask themselves why they live there.

  • @Freshbott2 The Bus and Light Rail networks in Los Angeles are among the busiest in the Country. The subway system is underdeveloped yet servicable. Also, LA has had commuter rail now for 20 years. The fact remains, it is STILL easier to drive everywhere in LA. There are more cars on LA's freeways than there are PEOPLE in Chicago or Houston.

  • All of the freeways in Cali are bitch, plain and simple, and no other place has it worse, only we that live in the LA area can understand the frustrations of traveling on the 405, 101, 10, 5, and so on and so forth,..they are packed all day, they only got some relief for an hour or two at the most, and only sometimes, rare occasions where they are running smooth

  • i really like your video. i have a couple timelapse video's, you should check some of them out. i will sub to you and i hope you will do the same.

  • 401 in Toronto is worse.

  • @megabenman ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! toronto? can't be serious man L.A.freeways are the most crowded most annoying freeways on earth ok their's no other freeways that come even close to what the roads of LOS ANGELES go threw everyday..... so sorry mr.little toronto guy maybe you just don't know how it is to live in a major city with over crowded roads..

  • @1skylinedreamz I've driven in both Toronto and LA traffic. The 401 is worse because it is 18 lanes wide, which means it has a tiny concrete barrier and absolutely nowhere to pull over.

    The 401 is the busiest highway in North America. If you don't believe me, google it. Next time do your research before bragging about something you're incorrect about. Thanks.

  • And since you mentioned that their are no worse freeways "on earth" I guess you should look outside North America and take a look at the ones in Beijing and Moscow.

  • @megabenman man how did i know you were going to say that beijing ain't shit ok neither is moscow iv'e visited both of those places traffic is pretty bad but trust me it ain't worse the 405 freeway isn't the only freeway in L.A. that get's bad there's other freeways around L.A. that are 100 million times worse than that....

  • @1skylinedreamz I'm talking about 405 vs. 401 Toronto/Beijing/Moscow, not LA vs Toronto/Beijing/Moscow.

  • This video proves it; Just raise the speed limt to 10,000 MPH / no traffic jam!

  • everytime i look at a map of the freeways in la, it makes me want to shove a fork into my balls

  • The traffic is horrendous here, but I still truly love living in L.A. Leave early enough, take the carpool lane when you can, and traffic can be tolerable.

  • That looks fuuuun!! I love L.A. When I get my job at LAX I'll get to do that everyday. yipeeeee, I can't wait

  • Gotta get up a 4 if you gotta be at work at 9

  • i could watch this over and over all day

  • la should really bulid subways lol

  • @sukuansnguan We do have a Subway / Metro Service. There are just too many people.

  • It wouldn't be so bad if a few people would take the bus or subway. In other N-American cities the use of mass transit is around 40-60%. Are there even bus in LA? There is but its just not developed enough. With bus lanes a bus trip can be shorter than using a car, and cost less. Just the amount of gas you put in your cars to go to work in a week cost more than a bus pass for a month.

  • @hillcon45 LA has lots of buses, trains and is building up it's subway. but everything in LA is so spread out that it is STILL easier to take the freeway.

  • fuck the 405, i've wasted too much time on those cement lanes

  • I miss L.A.. I can't wait to get my ass back down there. This location is now disclosed; It's looking north just south of the 90 Freeway (Marina Frwy) interchange.

  • Comment removed

  • So thankful to not live there, and I thought Atlanta was bad.

  • the 405 freeway isn't even the worst freeway in the LA area. The 91 freeway which goes from Orange County to Riverside is considered worse by some people. There is an ungodly amount of traffic on that freeway. The only thing which makes the 405 worse is that its much longer so the total amount of cars on it at a given time is much more. Chicago and NY can't compare. The amount of cars that travel through LA is absurd. a 30 minute drive can easily turn into a 3 hour drive depending on when it is

  • Comment removed

  • Are we really bragging about who has the worst traffic?

  • Comment removed

  • Anyone want an outsiders opinion?... I'm from Australia and I've been in New York, Chicago and L.A. traffic.

    New York has the most amount of pedestrian traffic, Chicago has the most congested/slow traffic... But there's no doubt about it, L.A. has the MOST traffic.

    Los Angeles traffic is the most intimidating and scared the fucken shit outta me!

  • now that highway is 5 lanes now and the traffic looks like they need to add about 3 4 or 5 more lanes on each side

  • los angeles pick up a lot of traffic

  • heres what i got to say if you cant drive dont go to los angeles

  • @keith20988 yes! so true. many people from the central valley drive down there and end up with a wrecked car because they drive like shiet where they are from

  • This goes on 20 hours a day, everyday. Buy oil.

  • cool los angeles so pick up a lot of traffic

  • you ready? :)

  • Horrific trafic !!!

  • Although it is an interesting volley of data the pure fact is la fwys are jammed full of traffic 22 hours a day. Most every other american city only experiences that type of volume at rush hours (AM & PM). I've been to chicago dozens of times and at 9pm u can go anywhere at speed limit. La can only be driven at speed limit from 330am until 450am that is a fact based on 24 Yeats of driving at all hours due to strange calltimes and late night gigs.

  • Drivers in LA spend 70 hours/mo in traffic.

    Drivers in NY area spend 44

    Chicago 41.

    Sorry but those other cities don't even come close

  • @leftlanetv Depends on the freeway.

    Source: I lived here my whole life.

  • There are more than 5.8 million automobiles registered in Los Angeles County. Only five states have more registered cars than does Los Angeles County: California (14.2 - not including L.A. County), Texas (8.8 million), New York (8.7 million), Florida (7.2 million), Ohio (6.4 million). Source: DMV & Federal Highway Administration

  • @kosmos3d, NYC metro traffic problems are mostly from tourist and ppl from jersey n connecticut, most NYers walk or use public transportation since evrything is around the corner, same thing goes from Chicago most of Chicago metro problems are from ppl from the suburbs including wisconsin and indiana, most ppl in Chicago walk or use public transportation since evrything is around the corner,LA is too spread out n suburban that u need a car to get around.

  • @kosmos3d, LA traffic isnt really that bad compared to NY and Chicago, the top 3 are about the same in traffic congestion,myfoxchicago says Chicago is 2nd worst in traffic congestion in the U.S of 2009 while other website like INRIX National Traffic Scorecard 2009 put NYC 2nd after LA, LA isnt really that bad,NYC's n Chicago's traffic is just as bad. This is 2009's worst traffic bottlenecks.

  • @kosmos3d , 2009 Worst Traffic Bottlenecks 1. Cross Bronx Expy WB @ Bronx River Pkwy, NY 2. Dan Ryan Expy WB @ Canalport Ave/Cermak Rd, IL 3. Cross Bronx Expy WB @ I-895/Sheridan Expy, NY 4. Cross Bronx Expy WB @ White Plains Rd, NY 5. Harlem River Dr SB @ 3rd Ave, NY 6. I-91 SB @ Hamilton St, CT 7. Hollywood Fwy/Us-101 NB @ Los Angeles St, CA 8. Dan Ryan Expy WB @ 18th St, IL 9. Cross Bronx Expy WB @ Westchester Ave, NY 10. Dan Ryan Expy WB @ Ruble St, IL
  • @kosmos3d ,

    NYC has 5 of the top 10 worst traffic bottlenecks.

    Chicago has 3 of the top 10 worst traffic bottlenecks.

    LA has 1 of the top 10 worst traffic bottlenecks.

    NYC's Cross Bronx Expy has 4 worst bottlenecks

    Chicago's Dan Ryan Expy has 3 of the top 10 bottlenecks.

    LA's Hollywood Fwy only has one.

  • @sexyrican77trey Dude, I'm just gonna say this once. Los Angeles has more freeways than New York and Chicago Combined and all of them are PACKED. LA...on Sunday...at 5AM is STILL WORSE than Chicago or Houston or anywhere else simply because there are more vehicles on the highways. LA HAS MORE CARS THAN CHICAGO HAS PEOPLE. I con't care about the Dan Ryan or the Cross Bronx during rush hour, try driving the 405, 101, 5, 10, 605, 710, 57, 60, 91, 110, 15, 215 or the 210 ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

  • @kosmos3d , so NYC's Cross Bronx Expy and Chicago's Dan Ryan Expy have more traffic congestion then LA's Hollywood Fwy. im sure if NYC and Chicago where as spread out as LA is,LA would be pushed back to 3rd spot, since not only the NYC and Chicago expirence traffic congestion, so do the suburbs,LA has alot of space therefore it will include more miles of Expys n Fwys, NYC n Chicago are limited.

  • @kosmos3d, btw u forgot Illinois and Cook County.

    Number of vehicles registered in Illinois: approximately (10.4 million)

    source: Cyber Drive Illinois Secretary of State

    Chicago in 1996 had (1.2 million) and suburban Cook County had (1.6 million) so in all Cook county that was (2.8 million) registered cars in 1996,but that was back then. Now its about 4 million registered cars in Cook County.

  • @kosmos3d , i couldnt find any up to date info on how many registered vehicles are in Cook county it was only an educated guess. but even if Cook county on has 4 million registered vehicles,that still alot of such a small and crowded county

    Cook County has 5.4 million ppl living on 946 sq mi

    while LA county has 9.8 million ppl on 4,061 sq mi

    4 Cook Counties fit inside of one LA County, that means Cook County has alot more ppl n cars per square mile=more congestion.

  • two city of Chicago's and a half fit inside of LA's city limits! 0.o

    Chicago city-3 million

    LA city-3.8 million

  • check out the number of registered vehicles per person in la county versus cook county or manhattan, then you will know the nightmare that is LA traffic.

  • Yup.

  • Chicago- 3 million ppl living on 224 sq mi

    LA - 3.8 million ppl living on 498 sq mi

    Chicago-busy crowded city

    LA-spread out suburb not that there is anythin wrong with being suburb, big ups to socal!

  • this video trips me out

  • WTF?!?

    This is sick, the freeway NEVER gets empty...

    I've been to L.A. last summer, the traffic didn't get any better!

  • A wonderful place that holds many memories for me, but looking at this reminds me why I can't live there.

  • Its a jungle out there!

  • that's MANY cars (I say who is from Sweden) xD

  • It's the NB 405 just south of the 90.

  • Isn't this looking north on the 405 at the 90 freeway? I sure this is the view. The 405 is a monster freeway with monster traffic

  • Why are the comments just two people arguing? gayness

  • Comment removed

  • n humboldt park,chicago is a nieghborhood not the rest of the city. 27,000 ppl living on 1 square miles compared to LA's 8,000 ppl on 1 sqaure mile doesnt seem crowded? even the basements are rented out. not all these ppl can fit in these building so alot of ppl are outside,on da porche,down da block etc! yea we dont care bout the suburbs they dont represent us! cuz there suburban! thats why u asways here chicago has 3 million not 10 million! we dont include the burbs like yall!LA has 3.8 mil!

  • Comment removed

  • Chicago has more then 3 million at least 3.5 million becuz in the census they didnt count the ppl living in the basements CUZ ITS ILLEAGAL TO RENT A BASEMENT TO SOME TO MAKE PROFIT FROM IT! get it? those number are wrong n old, chicago has grown alot in 2009, type" north america's largest cities" mongabaydotcom!

    Chicago city-2.9 million < didnt count basements

    Chicago urban-10.9 million

  • about 3.5 million ppl in a city half the size of LA is really crowded!

    about 11 million ppl in chicagos metro=city of chicago + suburbs for a metro half the size of LA's metro is still every crowded!

  • @sexyrican77trey LA metro is actually small. Just in LA county there are 10 million people. Factor in everything, you're talking about 20 million people. LA, Orange, and Riverside county.

  • @laa1664 , no LA metro has 12.8 milion LA county has 9 million, LA county is the size of four Chicago Cook countys put together. Cook county has 5.6 million thats 2 times more crowded the LA county

    Chicago metro-9.7 million

    LA metro-12.8 million

    LA is a spread out suburb, its not urban like NY or Chicago.btw NY has 19 million there is no way LA is bigger then NYC, LA is so suburban.

  • What you don't realize is 70% of LA County is uninhabited  desert and mountains. The part of it that is habitable is about the same size as cook county.

    To top that off the metro of Los Angeles when included with the Inland Empire, OC, and ventura County is 21 Million People. The State has 37 Million People.

  • Wikipedia Says 17.7 Million So NYC is still larger.

  • wikipedia is wrong! its the only website that says LA has 17 million, all other websites say LA has 12.8 million.

    NYC metro-19 million

    LA metro-12.8 million

    Chi metro-9.7 million

    have u been to NYC or Chicago? u you not realize how suburban LA is? 21 million ppl in LA isnt true unless u count SD & LA metros,is LA tryin to annez SD now? LA is a spread out suburb n so is LA's metro! u should travel more,ull get blown away with how crowded NYC n Chicago are.

  • @sexyrican77trey L.A. Meteropolitain area IS 17 MILLION. A metro area is the entire glob of urban area in that particular city in which case the L.A. metro includes all of the urban area in Orange County(Anaheim, Santa Ana, Newport Beach) AND all of the urban area in San Bernidino, Riverside, Ontario areas. which is a grand totoal of 17 million people.

    San Diego(where I live) only has a total of 3 million in it's entire metro area and is NOT part of the Los Angeles metropolitain area.

  • @patr70 , no ur wrong! LA's metro is

    LA county and Orange county.

    LA county-9.8 million

    Orange county-3 million=12.8 million

    ...LA doesnt have 17 million becuz LA looks like a big suburb!

    wikipedia is wrong, anyone cud edit those pages, even i cud make a acount on wikipedia.

  • LA only has one supertall aka 1,000 footer its the US Bank Tower - 1,018 ft tall. i didnt need to tell u that u prolly already new. anyway LA cant build up cuz of its earthwakes n firestroms

  • LA= small family homes with alot of space between um n big mansion with back yards the size of parks!< that doesnt look urban to me it looks like a suburb! plus its mostly mexican n 42% speak spanish which are mexicans! i think mexico wants LA back! n if yall kick um out!

    3.8 million minus 41% is???? lolz yep would be like only 2 million without the mexicans(espalda moja) keep the illegal mexicans dont deport um they make up most of LA! Humboldt Park,Chicago< Puerto Ricans stand up! BORICUA!

  • "Based upon this data, if the traffic congestion rates since 2000 should continue, San Francisco and Chicago will have worse traffic congestion than Los Angeles by 2015," says Wendell Cox, principal of Demographia, a St. Louis-based public policy consultancy, and a member of the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission from 1977 to 1985.

  • Not true,it is aid that Los Angeles has the worst traffic in the country,you can read it in the internet! Chicago traffic is bad,but when you come here,traffic will be hell lol.Los Angeles is a huge city that will be growing more and more,and traffic will increase,oh and Los Angeles traffic will still be greater then 2015.

  • lolz yes i cant read the innernet! but forget what they say! search or google LA live traffic n Chicago live traffic at rush hour n tell me what city is mostly in red n yellow=slow traffic! LA has more expressways Chicago doesnt have as many so traffic gets bad! traffic patterns are gonna be differnet in both city cuz both citys are diffent! listen =D

    Chicago = 224 sq mi with 3 million ppl

    LA=470 sq mi 3.8 million ppl

    plus chicago feels alot bigger then 3 mil they didnt count evryone!

  • HOLY SHIT!

  • what i hate about the buses...they are all ways late and never clean.

  • SKIP TRAFFIC!!!

    GO METRO!!!

    and Metro is looking into a rapid transit option for the 405!!! :)

  • I rather drive in my car,there so stinky,and never on time.=P

  • LA has a great mass transit system, its to bad its just not the most popular choice for commuters.

  • Correction: L.A. USED ot have a great mass transit system, but they ripped it out 60 years ago. It was called the Red Line. Today, what mass transit there is in L.A. is disconnected, disjunct, difficult ot figure out, and inconvenient.

    What L.A. needs is a mass transit dictator; someone who will brook no guff and tie all of its disparate elements together with a unifying vision. They're just too many fractured MT elements which make no sense,

  • M a s s T r a n s i t ie paris rer
  • the 405s a fucking disgrace but hey what can u do

  • Interesting video! Unfortunately, LA has a problem with getting people to use mass transit, which is very, very popular in New York City. It would definitely help reduce traffic on LA highways.

  • This is just 1 of thousands of highways here in the US. Just think of the amount of oil consumed every day by cars!

  • Yeah, no kidding!

  • travel the world and you will soon realize that this traffic is at least moving.

  • OMG does everyone go through there!?!?!?

  • Thats exactly why i dont live in those ass rammin, gang bangin wannabe cities. There full of stupid pussy gangs, and dumb assholes. FUCK LA!!!!!

  • LA traffic sucks balls!!!!!!

  • That is a lot of traffic, gotdamn!

  • there are new lanes, and ill be doing a new timelapse soon of it.

  • It's just way too spread out.

  • They need to make some updates to this...more lanes try an express lane maybe some double highways. So much improvement is needed

  • GOOD GOD! This is Reason why i would NEVER want to live in LA. Lives too short and my time is precious to me. think of all the time waisted in your car every day ever week every year... no thank you very much. you can have LA.

  • So glad to be out of that rat race. Grew up in LA and did the commute thing for many years.

  • Society has made us into an ant colony.

  • why don't you try got live somwhere in Africa or Iran ?...see if you like THAT kind of society..idiot.

  • 405 at the Marina Fwy. I recognize the signs. Yes the 405 is to be avoided at all times.

  • they never stop coming

  • I HATE 405! I don't even live there and I hate it. I have family in LA, so I'm all too familiar with it.
