To Give you an Idea of LA's sheer size, on a Sunday morning in actual good traffic, it took me three hours to drive from Ventura to Palm Springs via 101-134-210-10, and that was going 65 the whole way, no slowdowns at all, which means I theoretically drove over 200 miles just crossing the metropolis!
LA's freeways are like NYC's subways. LA was among the first to build freeways in the world just as NYC was among the first to construct a subway system. Today these facilities have aged and are outdated in many ways, from a design perspective. And newer, more modern freeways make freeways like I-405 through LA look outright dilapidated and in dire need of an overhaul. Truth is, as crappy and old as the 405 looks, it's been doing a decent job servicing Orange county commuters.
This stretch of the 405 as well as US 101 from downtown to Tampa Ave in the Valley are the most stressful freeways I've ever driven, makes say CA 91 look like a cake walk in comparison
It has the highest density in US, far from the highest population in the world and also far from the largest area. I'm pretty sure Tokyo is the largest metropolitan area both in terms of population and size.
Okay I'm gonna be visiting Long Beach for my girlfriend but I'm in the UK, so I'm in a long distance relationship.. how nice is Long Beach? She lives there by the way..
Actually Tokyo is bigger in size it is 845 square miles while LA is 503 square miles. I rounded all decimals. Tokyo metro has a population of more than 35 million while LA metro has population of more than 17 million. Mexico city is 573 square miles and the metro has more than 10 million.
It's usually 9 hrs from El Paso to L.A. My family and I always drive up there because of family so yeah It doesn't take long. I-10 W basically take you all the way over there. Stop once around Phoenix then just keep going. Not much to see from EP to LA
No disrespect, but are you the ghost of DJ Screw? And if you are, why do float/drive around the country filming freeways? Also, why do you speed up your videos instead of slowing them down? (if you are the ghost of DJ Screw)
it actually isn't tokyo is about the same size of nyc in size cause there city is in peices it's not a whole city basin cause there surrounded by water.. so tokyo isn't biggest in everything just population but not biggest in city size it ain't that big.. L.A. has a way larger metropilitan area cause it's so spread out,the only one city that competes with L.A.'s size is mexico city D.F. wich is supposibly the biggest city in the world look it up... so in ranks i think L.A. is 2nd after mexico..

Miss those cars.
Great video...all the way from the LBC to the westside and then to the Valley....that ride on anyday is a TRIP!
Cool ride, love the flyovers at the I-105 interchange, nice tribute to the female engineer as well, 5*
That's a pretty damn epic ride! Nice way to tie in the history.
pavement looks pretty rough. Is it the original pavement from the 1960's?
Nice! Havent driven 405 yet but its still one of the many freeways I have yet to drive in LA.
Damn in Poland we've got max 110 k cars per day and here it's 330k sick. Great video as always.
I miss LA, I can't wait to move back there.
Excellente vidéo
I work in France 🇫🇷 Taxi 🚕

I ❤️ LOS ANGELES
love music
Awesome video of the I-405! Great stuff as always!

lol @ the Maybach in the HOV lane... I guess chauffeur and passenger does count as high occupancy, but still, probably not the point.. :D
During rush hour the 405 moves so slow that eventualy the traffic flow begins to move backwards.
Man so many memories
well in reality L.A. actually is the biggest metropolitan major city in the world as far as size mass,it's insanely huge...
Great video. Very heawy traffic.
I like this video.
We do it as a hobby, innoutpandaexpress!
And Panda Express for dinner does sound kinda tasty, right about now. Even if it's junk food, lol.
3:49
Nice weather !
Is it true that it never rains in Southern California ?
NoNotALaughingMatter from Apr to Nov generally no rain, but quite a bit from Dec to Mar
when i came out they old cars
Los Angeles traffic congestion is the worst!
The videos are good but just go amazing if you choose the right song.. I've just found one great with Pump The Kicks

It rains in the fall and winter time.
Okay I'm gonna be visiting Long Beach for my girlfriend but I'm in the UK, so I'm in a long distance relationship.. how nice is Long Beach? She lives there by the way..
MrMrpigeon Depends on which side of the 405, north side is ghetto, south side&downtown is nice
why are the roads in L.A so bad??

Derek McCormick 9 hrs? To go 800 miles?!? If you go 90+ mph maybe, if you drive legally, it would take at least 12 hrs
Then can you tell me the name of this song?
What is the name of the song, that starts 3:20?
Many more people live in NYC though. Not sure about physical landmass.
I wish it really went that fast....
Isn't it Marina Del Rey, not Ray?
What mean that way with yellow ???
Its marina del Rey not ray
Look at New Jerseys I-287 from exit 47 to exit 66 is a modern freeway much better than I-405 in Los Angeles
Wait.. so you do this just for fun? And with current gas prices? lol.
