According to a study released by the Texas Transportation Institute yesterday, Los Angeles and Orange County drivers spent an average of 72 hours in rush hour traffic in 2005, marking a 20 hour increase since 1985. Nationally, Los Angeles and Orange Counties have placed No. 1 in traffic congestion for 23 of the last 24 years, although the Inland Empire and Ventura County are rapidly catching up. Larry talks with the co-author of the study, a representative from SCAG, and takes listener calls about why we do sit through so many traffic delays, and what can be done about it.
