    Default Picture for those who live in Southern California who travel the 405 frequently...

    Well, those in SoCal know to avoid the 405 if at all possible, especially during rush hour.


    Found this pic on the CHP forums:

    Opening Day SB405 @ 101



    The handwriting says -

    Looking South at Ventura Cutoff 7-3-58


    Judging by the shadows, that was about 9-10 AM.

    Cool pic. I wonder what the speed limit was when it first opened.

    Is that a left lane hog in the far left lane??
    If I'm passing you on the right, YOU are in the wrong lane!

    If speed kills, how come I'm still alive?

    SoCal must have been epic in 1958.

    Yeah - epic smog.

    I've seen some old films of SoCal freeways from the 40s and 50s. Nowadays even our toll roads have more traffic on 'em.

    I was gone by then, but it was definitely epic in 1956-57!
