The area where the San Diego (405), San Gabriel (605) and Garden Grove (22) freeways meet in and near Long Beach is often backed up in rush hour. A story in today's Los Angeles Times, however, explains how differently Los Angeles and Orange counties see gridlock solutions. Los Angeles is moving toward an emphasis mass transit and is reluctant to widen the 405 on the county line. Orange County tends be more committed to widening the freeway, according to the Times.
