We have a friend who gets stuck in traffic so much that he has a pee bottle in his car. Maybe Operation Bottleneck, which begins today, will curb his urinary tract a bit:

I don't understand how this city cannot manage to get the street lights timed to make traffic smoother everywhere. Perhaps because traffic is the only place left in Los Angeles where you can smoke in peace?
I just want the Mayor to try to get on the 101 at White Oak each morning for an entire week, and then we can talk about traffic light timing.
