Worse traffic I ever seen was trying to get out of Las Vegas after the New Year. The traffic stopped on the I-15 just south of the Mandalay Bay. We tried to leave a few times and gave up and went back to my sister-in-laws place. It was taking 12 hours to go from LV to LA which is normally a 4 hour drive.

The liberals need some of those BLM clowns to get in the way of traffic so that they can see what it’s like.

That said, I wouldn’t want them to slow down our conservative friends in California.

So after partying all New Years Eve, thousands hit the road to LA?

“12 hours to go from LV to LA”

That is like trying to get out of Houston when a hurricane is coming.

Me too. I was awful. Fatal car accident in front of me, idiots throwing firecrackers out their window, an angry trucker threatening my daughter and me and topped off with thick smog. Never again will I go to LV for new years.

Thanksgiving traffic has long been bad all over. I once went down to Tampa from NC for an event over Thanksgiving, one of only two Thanksgivings that weren’t spent at home with family, and coming back I got stuck in endless traffic on the interstate in the middle of nowhere. Sat there for hours to the point of worrying about running out of gas. Should have flown, but I was young and didn’t really have the money, air fare was comparatively expensive at the time. This would have been about 1984. I recall unintentionally upsetting my hosts over the big college football game, I got excited about the “Hail Flutie” and shouldn’t have, lol.

That’s a cool video. I rode that freeway for 20 years. Eventually I used a motorcycle and split traffic for 15 of those years, more willing to die as a bird than live as a turtle.

When I was working in Pacific Palisades and living in Torrance, my Friday evening commute was nearly 2 hours on occasion. Yuck!

Next Time take a 1hour detour to Searchlight and take I40 from Goffs, there will be NO TRAFFIC

Labor Day weekend Monday on I-10 coming back from Pensacola. According to CB, the traffic was at a standstill up all the way to Houston. We gave up and took Highway 90 in.

BTW, that 3 miles going South on the 101 from WEHO blows on any given Sunday.

I just take the side streets and call it a day.

And the car lobby thinks that if we only expanded from six to ten lanes each way, or built another parallel freeway alongside, everything would be ok.

While we double the population every 50 years.

I always ask pro immigration people to give me a list of cities that desperately need more population and traffic. Which suburbs are in desperate need to be more sprawlier. Which small towns would be better off being big towns with new sprawly suburbs and traffic. The traffic which also causes global warming.
