Freeways of Los Angeles

We're still trying to figure out this sign. Any ideas?

Um, jingle all the way?

So that's how they came up with this blasted sign!

News Report: The new wildlife crossing over the I-55 freeway is a resounding success (for the animals). Meanwhile, officials are now trying to figure out how to get the humans across. 🫣🤔 [Reposting an oldie but goodie.]

The last time poor Lassie tried to save Timmy. 🥺

What could possibly go wrong? 😁😁

Sigh, when driving on newly constructed highways fostered true innovation.

Safety first!

Uh oh, the highway patrol is starting to get serious with its aerial enforcement!

When the DOT sells off surplus street right of way instead of making simple repairs!

You think!?!

Watch out for that speed trap at Figueroa & Sunset! 😬

All the signs were there . . .

Coming tomorrow on April 1st, our annual Funny Foto Day. We will feature images of freeways, highways, streets, bridges and signs that are sure to make you smile, or groan. Images won't be limited to the Los Angeles area. You've been warned. 😁😁😁

1974 - Experimental Plexiglass sound wall installed along Pomona Fwy (CA-60) near Garfield Avenue in Monterey Park (CT photo). Problems with sound reduction effectiveness and glare led to this idea being rejected. Today most sound walls are masonry block with aesthetic touches.

@TurnbullMartin In better resolution versions of this image, one can make out a 45 mph speed limit sign on the right.

This restrained line of motorists were among the first to drive on the Arroyo Seco Parkway on opening day, December 30, 1940 which explains why they’re so orderly and respectful. I’d say it’s reasonable to assume that this 6.7-mile roadway didn’t stay immaculate for very long.
