The Daily Beast has consulted experts around the nation and come to the conclusion that our very own 101 Hollywood Freeway is the nation’s worst commute. An excerpt:
#1, "Hollywood Freeway, Los Angeles
Weekly hours of bottleneck congestion: 686
Worst bottleneck: Southbound, Vermont Avenue
Length of worst bottleneck: .64 mi
Weekly hours of congestion on worst bottleneck: 77
Speed of worst bottleneck when congested: 14 mph
The expert opinion: “I recall they would say things like it’s a 20-minute trip downtown on the Hollywood Freeway, recalls Metropolitan Transportation Authority chief executive Art Leahy on traffic when he was growing up in Los Angeles. “No one anticipated the congestion that would emerge.”.
