SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA (KTLA) -- SigAlerts, construction and gridlock -- are they the price we pay for living in Southern California? Not anymore. "5 Live Traffic" has the road map to help keep your commute from turning into a catastrophe.
With Sky 5, traffic cams and up-to-the minute maps, KTLA 5 is the station that can cure the bumper-to-bumper blues. In a special report Monday, KTLA 5's Glen Walker gave viewers a look at some pesky construction projects that might not be on their radars.
If you're looking for a green light on the 5 Freeway between highways 118 and 170 in Arleta and Pacoima, Caltrans is building a carpool lane in each direction. The $266 million improvement project isn't supposed isn't expected to hit a stop sign until 2013.
If you want to hit the gas on the 10 and the 110 freeways, beware of the "L.A. Metro Express Lane Project," where existing carpool lanes are being converted into high-occupancy toll lanes.
To avoid a bumpy ride, there's the Long Beach 710 pavement project, meant to extend the life of the pavement and reduce the need for maintenance.
On the 10 Freeway, the HOV lane project is shutting down ramps all over and will continue to do so until winter 2012.
Carmaggedon may have come and gone, but if you're behind the wheel on the 405, the $1 billion project is still plus Sepulveda Pass improvement is still going on.
We hope this KTLA 5 crash course in construction zones will help rid you of any road rage.
