Description
One of the most heavily trafficked freeway interchanges in Los Angeles, if not the entire country, is the 405 freeway. It has become a common cliché in Los Angeles that the 405 freeway is the “worst; it is not just a roadway, but also an elongated parking lot where no hope of mobility can merge.” There's even a Twitter account dedicated to expressing hatred towards the 405 freeway, which is aptly named @the405sucks. Its bio reads: "I'm Interstate 405 in LA & OC... the worst freeway ever. Born in hell. Built in 1964." It was my daily commute.

Freeways and particularly, the interchanges that connect them, are a feat of engineering and design. Thanks for sharing your image in the Art in Architecture group. I particularly like the way you processed your image limiting the colours to only a few. For me, it tends to show all the people on the freeway or "parking lot" as a homogeneous group.
