Los Angeles traffic

Sorry but i def have to vent about this for a minute.

This is by far the worst fucking traffic with the most clueless drivers that i have ever experienced in my life. And i have lived and owned a car in quite a few crowded-ass cities. First off, this is way worse then NYC because at least the traffic is predictable there, you just don't go on the cross brox or the FDR ever. It is way worse then Philly cause there is always a way around the 95, and its even worse then D.C.(which is pretty fucking bad by the way, the Belt pkwy, are you kidding me, i hate that fucking thing.)
But The 101 is the worst traffic highway i have ever been on, even at 11 pm you could get stuck in like 30 minutes of traffic for no reason. And the 10, my god, the retards that leave the beach after having sat in the sun all day have no idea what is going on aroud them.
All the backroads here are actually slower then waiting in traffic becuse the lights arn't timed properly at all, And everyone drives like they are clueless here, with slow, no-blinker drifting lane changes and lazy pullouts in front of you with no accelleration from side street turn ins. I want to kill everybody. Now i understand why LA had all those car shooting road rage deaths a few years ago

Wish me luch, i gotta drive into Hollywood for dinner and i might freak out.

People like you irritate me. I lived there for 3 years, get a Thomas guide and figure it out. There are a million ways to get from the Valley to Hollywood or Beverly Hills w/out ever going on the Freeway. You tried Coldwater Canyon yet? You might be surprised how well that works...

shit i'm only goin from Venice to Hollywood, but i have not tried coldwater or topanga or any of those crazy canyons yet as far getting from here to the valley, which i am not doing very often. And the last time i checked a Thomas guide doesn't make the people around me better drivers.

Go up La Cienega or La Brea from Venice Blvd. Straight shot to Hollywood Blvd. The canyons to and from the Valley are less people...hence less people to annoy you.

Oh ya that's way too much driving. You can also go Lincoln to Santa Monica Blvd and up and then left on La Cienega to Hollywood, but if you can just LC from Venice, you'll be much happier.

LA traffic is horrid. When I lived in SD, my chick lived in Hollywood and it was such a riddle going up to see her on the weekends!

But, the scene on and around Sunset made up for it.

You don't know clueless driving until you go through a rich stuck up town such as Bozeman, Montana, where I live. People here never cease to amaze me, and I am regularly dodging moms on cellphones and old people driving 20 under. Last time I was in LA I was impressed at how most people were aware that other people use the roads.

I hope that is some kind of sick joke. Bozeman montana rich and stuck up? you obviously have lived in montana your entire life.

First of all Bozeman is garbage, not even close to rich and stuck up.

And secondly, there is now fuckign way that your traffic is worse that LA, or any other major city. flat out, you have twice the land and a 1/3 of the population. gimme a break

I didn't say the traffic was bad, I said the people were oblivious to everybody around them. And there are probably about 1/15th the number of people in LA in the entire state of montana.

traffic in LA is so bad because there are so many accident from cars hitting wetbacks trying to cross the road

HERE IS A REPLY FROM SOMEONE WHO LIVES IN LA

last week i had to work in sherman oaks. 15 miles from my house in burbank. IT TOOK ME AN HOUR AND 45 FUCKING MINUTES ON THE 101. fuck that shit.

now i am working in santa monica. one block from the pier. 22 miles from my house in burbank. i take the 101 TO THE 405 TO THE 10 FREEWAY. THESE ARE THE 3 MOST CROWDED FREEWAYS IN THE ENTIRE US. it takes me 2 1/2 hours to get to work in the morning if i leave at 8. i leave my house at 5:30 so i can get there by 7.

i'm seriously going to take some pictures on my way to and from work so you guys can see how truly rediculous this shit is. feel blessed you don't live here.


MOVING TO UTAH IN 2 WEEKS NIGGAS!

Coming into Chicago this morning on 88 I went 2 miles in 45 minutes, and I still had another hour to go before I got downtown. I hate all these soccer moms and cabbies talking on their cell phones and listening to their gay ass morning radio shows. If it wasn’t for smoke and loud angry music I’d run them all off the road. I wish I had a monster truck.
