@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!

@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.

The M25 in England is like that 24hrs a day!

At least there are plenty of lanes. I miss that.
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.

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.

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.
