LA freeways are crazy with so many exits one never gets off on because they are just random neighborhoods filled with houses. Then some places it is faster to take the off ramp, and then cut over, and get back on the freeway from surface streets because the interchange locks up. I want to say hollywood to 10 on la cienega though I'd have to look on a map to be sure.

Its even worse right now because a slice of the 10 is down.

Not for a while! A portion of the 10 basically melted in a fire a few days ago right at downtown and the 5 freeway I believe. It's completely closed for 6 weeks adding to traffic everywhere else.

well, that's gate keeping or something like that.

Some days the best you can do is delete the long, rant-laden screed before hitting "post reply." Just remember to hit "delete draft" before clicking away.

Maybe that's like Lincoln's habit of writing angry letters to people but not sending them. Get it off your chest but don't muck up the place.

I hear freeways often have some traffic issues.

Dude. Learn to write subjects in your sentences. I cannot possibly be the only one who has to read your posts three or four times just to figure out what the hell you are talking about.

It is funny, I heard that from a friend a few days ago, even though I haven't lived there for years.

I do try. I really do.

Uh oh, what did you do THIS time?

They also seem to be moving up the Left Coast, into places like Seattle.

That's been a thing for decades. I remember it being a regular complaint when my family and I moved there from the East coast in 1990.

That's sometimes a problem in some of the older parts of Los Angeles when they did sharply angled ramps before quite understanding how the freeway would go; you're trying to merge at 10 MPH (because any faster and you'd fly off into space) and people have long since forgotten why it used to be called the "slow" lane...

There's a big stretch of Rt 2 in MA where the on-ramps in towns the highway passes through are incredibly short, and I always wonder what the heck the engineers were thinking. How they expected people to get up to speed.
