I spent two of the best years of my life in Long Beach/LA. I love these videos. They bring a piece of that back to my desktop. Thanks for posting these, Calimonkey. :)
Nice joyride! @ 2:58 you drove back in the same direction. If you continued on Hwy 101, 2 minutes, you'd see Sunset, Melrose, Hollywood and Vine. I know the traffic headaches but you missed great sightseeing. But you managed to catch the open road. And it don't stop!
I drive from El Segundo (next to LAX) to Long Beach everyday. I normally take the 405 the whole way but sometimes I take the 105 to the 605. Also the 105 to the 110 to the 91 to the 605. Normally it takes me over an hour which is ridiculous.
While congestion after 7:30 p.m. isn't common elsewhere in the state like it is in L.A., congested freeways are a way of life in the SF Bay Area, Sacramento and San Diego. Try the 99 freeway in Sacramento for starters; sometimes an hour to drive less than 10 miles.
Excellent videos, calimonkey...thanks for showing us the city from a different perspective. By the way, how long does it take on average to get from downtown L.A. to Studio City on weekdays??
@sexyrican77trey San Francisco is still more crowded than both of those cities. Houston is more like L.A too, except it's 6 million metro and like 600 sq mi. I live in Houston and it sucks, I'd rather live in any of those two cities you mentioned any day.
Los Angeles is a massive heart that beats at high speed, surrounded by thousands of arteries and veins which carry millions of cells that feed this living organism....L.A. is not a city, but a creature composed of 17 million cells. I´m one of those cells...
man this is not even during rush hour.. you should see the traffic when it is. there's hell of alot more traffic like crazy bumper to bumper all the way,you just move one centemeter at a time and stay in the same spot forever... man it sucks. if your not used to driving in highly conjested area's specially like L.A. you might not wanna drive there.....
man when im scheduled to do buisness meetings in l.A. we always end up canceling them the reason is this because of the dam traffic wow it's just insane i tell you if your running late for something might as well not bother going.....
Why people would love Traffic is beyond me. I get pissed if I sit in one place for more than 10 minutes. Going any slower than 45 on a freeway seems counterproductive in my opinion =P.
@daFranch1se69 New York City should be ranked worse. I don't know why they would pick Los Angeles. They "think" it's bad when it really isn't that bad.
i have LOL can't be serious not even close.plus this here is just regular traffic look up traffic jams or rush hour times of L.A. and see the way it really is..
lol i dont know why ppl get bothered by traffic... i think it makes Los Angeles beautiful =] i get to see all the views and everything... of course its better at night tho... the traffic isnt stopping me from moving to this thriving city.
LA is ranked worst traffic city but from this video it doesn't look that bad, look at DC traffic at rush hour and you wont see anything more pathetic, thank god I dont work for the government it would be a bitch to go to DC I live in the suburbs of DC in NOVA.
Negotiating LA traffic is an art form which has taken me years to master. I love LA! Hands down.

Traffic usually starts at 4pm
The music says go but the traffic says "slow".
@daFranch1se69 New York City should be ranked worse. I don't know why they would pick Los Angeles. They "think" it's bad when it really isn't that bad.
It probably takes like an hour to go 5 miles
i have LOL can't be serious not even close.plus this here is just regular traffic look up traffic jams or rush hour times of L.A. and see the way it really is..

that yellow truck at 4:50 obviously doesn't know how to drive. Look how much of his truck got in the other lane.
