Los Angeles is set for chaos this weekend as a busy stretch of Highway 405 is getting widened. The event could displace as many as 500,000 motorists.

It's such a serious event it's been dubbed Carmageddon.

Celebs with big twitter followings have been asked to help get the word out and minimize confusion. Jet blue is offering a cure for Carmageddon that is as convenient as it is planet-unfriendly: $4 tickets from Burbank to Long Beach.

Carmageddon will only last for the weekend. But even after the 405 reopens, Angelinos might still find bad traffic a fact of life.

  • I guess those who coined the name have not played the game named Carmageddon...

  • Jetblue FTW!

  • @timoback3000 They do. But Public Transportation out there isn't like New York at all.

  • Does LA have subways? anyway, the plane ride doesn't seem bad. I live near Houston so I know about bad traffic + public transportation sucks ass here. But I've always heard LA's traffic is unbearable 2 the max

  • No way to just stay home? Pfft, I'd take a sick day if it spilled over into the week

  • @BoogsterSU2 it says why in the video

  • I pray every day to Jesus that he will make LA fall into the ocean.

  • @sivartis Have your friends considered how many hours they will be waiting at the aiport?
