The Perfect Storm
LA traffic is a perfect storm of factors, each one as infuriating as the next.
Tip: Review key points when done.
- Car Culture: Angelenos and their cars are practically inseparable. It's like a co-dependent relationship. Everyone needs a car, even if it's just to drive to the corner store.
- Sprawl: The city is spread out like a giant, suburban pizza. This means longer commutes and more cars on the road. It's like trying to herd cats, but with cars.
- Geography: Hills, mountains, and the ocean create natural bottlenecks. It's like trying to squeeze a thousand people through a garden hose.
- Weather: Sunny days mean everyone wants to be outside, which means more cars on the road. It's a cruel irony.
- Accidents and Construction: Because Murphy's Law dictates that everything that can go wrong, will go wrong, especially when it comes to LA traffic.
