The “L.A.Way”

Time is money. And when lost driving in Los Angeles' hellish traffic (103 hours and 97 minutes per person), it comes to at least one thousand dollars per capita productivity per year (and an estimated USD 166 billion nationwide).

It is also pretty bad for the environment, which has to absorb an excess of approx. 5.5 gal of fuel for every driver stuck in a traffic  jam (12 billion nationwide).

The construction of 11 miles of express lanes (two in each direction) on the I-10 from the Los Angeles/San Bernardino County Line east of the I-10/I-15 interchange is one of the key projects to reduce traffic congestion and lower CO₂ emissions in California's largest city, which is the second most populous in the US.

The I-10 is a vital transport route through the Inland Empire on which an average of 265,000 people per day (local, commuter and interstate, estimated to be 350,000 by 2045) travel miles 11 of additional corridor, with a total of 848,800 tons of concrete will improve safety, travel time and air quality.

The use of fully-loaded passenger vehicles, electric vehicles and motorbikes will be incentivised by granting free access to the Express Lanes.

The project, launched in 2018, is part of in the Regional Transport Plan/Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS) 2016-40 and the 2017 Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP).

So everyone is ready for new developments because, you know, "In this city, everything can change suddenly", says Leonardo DiCaprio.
