Traffic congestion in LA is relative, and seems much worse than it
really is.

The queues and slow traffic along the notorious 405 feel bad, but that's
because the user has an internal expectation that movement along a
freeway should be free-flowing.

The real test is whether you could do 50 or 60 miles in other
conurbations as easily as you can in LA. And you can't.

The other comparator is to compare the freeways with the alternative
surface routes. Imagine - just imagine - having to get from LAX to
Encino along Sepulveda Boulevard...
