And the traffic is much lighter than normal today with no particular problems anywhere.
The commentators were spending their time comparing Delis in the LA area.

BTW: KFI is the conservative, Limbaugh station in LA.

1. I think the Carmageddon thing was a very elaborate social engineering ploy
and it seems to have worked. All for the better, and it'll be open Monday morning anyway.

3. And the KFI managers totally fell for it.
I figured the overblown hype was on purpose just to lighten the traffic load during the weekend.
It seems to have worked.

2. They were trying to make it how INEPT government is
Looks like the rightie radio station has egg on their face.

4. During the '84 Olympics...LA nearly emptied out...
I drove late evenings, at that time, South to the UCLA venue and Morning from UCLA North to home
and had very little traffic either way.
We know how to handle what we know is going to happen...
It's the 'surprise' stuff that'll throw you.
