Despite our reputation, we Angelenos don’t exhibit any particularly great predilection for freeway travel either. Los Angeles ranks 14th out of the 37 largest metro areas in terms of highway miles driven per resident per day. To be sure, this is above the median, but it hardly points to the sort of unique freeway fetish Angelenos are accused of harboring... What this guys doesn't tell you is that the mass transit system has been build primarily in the last 15 years; that the freeways have been at capacity for the past 15-20 years; that many Angelenos bypass the freeways and go on the city streets because that can be faster[believe it or not] and that its not unusual at busy intersections to have to wait three lights before you can get through. During my last days there, I commuted by going on one freeway, getting off and using city streets, and then getting back on another freeway for the final leg of the commute. I lived 10 miles from work. My legs often were cramped up by the time I got home because of the stop and go traffic. LA is a traffic mess and even with its improvements in air quality, its still has the most polluted air in the country.
