Almost Wordless Wednesday: Pandemic Traffic in Los Angeles, CA  is over back to the same old traffic or is it? Interestingly someone who has lived close to fifteen years in Europe, I noticed that construction was always done in off hours in the middle of the night not to inconvenience the majority of the people on the road.

Well I guess Los Angeles never got the memo... during rush hour morning and in the afternoon they are happy to shut down the busy streets and on a good day limit it to one lane traffic. WHY? I have always wondered about that.

Anyway not much I enjoyed for the past year and a half but the light traffic was great. We used to joke time was turned back 45 years when it came to driving on the road.

Now with that said the majority of the people are back on the road and the planners are not making life easy for those on the road.

 

Hope you enjoyed these picturesww.endrebarath.com as you can tell Holly was not pleased either.

Good morning, Endre... those questions about how and when road construction is done are not unique to Los Angeles!

Endre,

I have to say, that our roads have been intelligently managed considering that two lanes are been added to the 101/one on each side.  The only problem are drivers who refuse to head the 55 speed limit, and end up crashing over the barricades.  And they do work during the night also. I think Holly has the right idea!  A

Endre, you seem to have forgotten you live in LA where the politicians don't feel you convenience is important.  🤣

They do the same here as well. Drives me bonkers. Traffic is insane - seems worse now than pre-Pandemic.  I do my best to plan my outings to avoid traffic. If that fails I take surface streets versus the freeway.

Endre Barath, Jr. - with all the new people coming to the USA, our population is exploding! Roads are congested here too. What's new is that I am seeing more and more people on bicycles riding down interstate highways and walking too!

Endre Barath, Jr. hi Endre... we might have some lack of logic in road work just as in LA, but NOTHING like the traffic you have. I still have nightmares about LA traffic when I travelled there each month on business and that was  in the mid-1970's. Can't imagine what it's like now.

Oh my gosh, what a cute picture of Holly! She seems like the traffic is the farthest thing from her mind! LOL


I have been fighting construction on my way into the office for the past few months and have noticed that traffic just seems to be increasing by the day here. I miss the pandemic traffic! And, my questions are just as yours are - especially, WHY on earth do they do ANY work during rush hour? It seems like it would be unsafe for them - and the traffic would be gone a LOT faster if they just let us move!!
