Was on my way to Vegas recently from LA and the whole trip to 8 hours to get there. Google Maps said it was about a 5 hour trip, and it took us 4 to get back. Definitely a bunch of the weekenders as we were traveling on a Friday afternoon, but still, never seen so much traffic in a largely desolate area.
About 10 years ago, living in Southern California and commuting from South Pasadena to Calabasas (roughly 40 miles, one way). I was leaving work to go back home on a rainy day and heard that there was a big accident on 101 at around White Oak. I detoured around by taking Topanga Canyon to 118, then to 210, then streets back home. When I got on 118 (after about an hour), a car had flipped over on 118 and all traffic was stopped. Total commute home that day was 3 hours. I could have killed that idiot that flipped his car over on 118.
I saw a Youtube vid of a crazy day before Thanksgiving Day traffic jam that stretched for miles. Lit the sky up with a sea of red and white. Looked cool but sure wouldn't want to be caught in that mess!
