Traffic is the worst.
But what can we do about it? Adding more freeway lanes didn t help. Buses get stuck on the same roads as cars. Elon s car-ferrying tunnels aren t coming anytime soon. The impacts of a devastating pandemic emptied the roads for a while, but that wasn t a solution.
When it comes down to it, L.A. County s crippling congestion stems from the basic economics of supply and demand.
In this case, the demand is getting in your car and driving where you need to go using local freeways. The supply is the space we have to drive on those freeways. Crawling in traffic is the price we pay for all driving the same routes at the same time.
