Traffic in Los Angeles and Southern California

#

I drove up from San Diego to Los Angeles on Friday evening and that’s when I finally realized what causes most of the pain driving here. I was always in motion. There was no ‘parking lot’ situation like it happens when there is an accident. The cars are always moving, though at varying speeds at various points on the freeways. I was always taking my foot off the gas and on the brake and vice versa.

Do that for 1.5 or 2 hours each day, twice a day, and you will know why the LA traffic is one of the worst in the country.

I am glad I don’t have to do that on a daily basis.
