A 10-mile stretch of L.A.’s Interstate 405, the busiest highway in the United States, is closing for the weekend, causing many to cancel plans. What do you think?

  • “Oh, no! You can still jump off the overpass, though, right?”

    Kim Campbell –
    Systems Analyst

  • “So much for L.A. being superior to everywhere else. I believe I'll go drive I-94 this weekend—not because I have anyplace to go, but simply because I can.”

    Michael Dunbar –
    Battery Inspector

  • “Can't L.A. residents just spend 48 hours waiting patiently in their cars for traffic to start moving again, the way they normally do?”

    David Lander –
