Hah, Interstate-10. Hell of a freeway to say the least. People are not going to be happy going home today.

man, that ended about 15 minutes from my house. good thing I don't go near that area on my way home, though I suspect the effects may radiate and F up traffic for surrounding freeways.

West bound in the morning and East bound in the afternoon

The carpool lane around El Monte/Monterey Park sucks too because it requires 3 pple and there is no exit.

Why is that? Why make the HOV lane more inconvienent to use? It's not like that in other states. Ugh.

I leave in the OC, and well I don't have to worry about that guy. I feel sorry for the Cal State LA students who will either miss or be late for their finals because of this.

forget other states, it's not even like that up in northern california. having the HOV lane bound by double yellow lines is a southern california thing and it is really stupid.

This is why I moved 5 minutes from my job. Its only 20 minutes during rush hour. damn you olympic and santa monica blvds..actually its more the city since they make only 2 streets into century city. and if Im ever late, Im really late. since they allows cars to park in the 3rd lane on olympic starting at 9am

it actually didn't affect my drive home yesterday. traffic was slow on the 210, but it could have just been one of those days.

Didn't take the 10 but it messed up traffic on the 710 which screwed up my drive home from the fish store.
