I experienced the traffic congestion listed. I was wondering why you questioned 101 S at Vermont. Especially when the traffic is bad, I usually exit on Silverlake and take a short cut up the hill to hit Temple.

The first four 101 bottlenecks are obviously because of the horrible 110N to 101N onramp which merges two lanes right in the middle of the freeway.

Why hasn't there been anything done to fix this? There's a side street right alone the freeway to the north, so it's not like there isn't any room.

I love how it's "The 101 at everything."
