Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / January 2007Video: The El Toro 'Y'
26 lanes wide. 356,000+ vehicles per day. Until it was rebuilt in 1997, it was one of the most congested freeway interchanges in the universe. Even today it is one of the busiest. And now I invite you to drive through it with me... http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1613203837085230033&hl=en  SignatureMy driving videos: http://www.geocities.com/slothkills/videos.html Ladies and Gentlemen (and I use those words loosely), Scott en Aztlán said in rec.autos.driving: > 26 lanes wide. 356,000+ vehicles per day.

You can always fly 4000 miles round trip to another part of the country, rent a Scion xB, and drive another 900 miles talking videos of other areas without much to show. :) SignatureI'm a wreckless driver and damn proud of it! Hi Dave, You would think that 356,000 vpd is already busy enough, but that number was surpassed several years ago. According to CalTrans, the stretch of I-5, just south of the I-405, carried 387,000 vpd in 2005. http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/traffops/saferesr/trafdata/2005all/r005-6i.htm -Brent Scott en Aztl?n wrote: > 26 lanes wide. 356,000+ vehicles per day.

Yeah, the 356,000 figure was from 2002, and I didn't know offhand where to find more up-to-date figures quickly, so I just tacked on a '+'. >http://www.dot.ca.gov/hq/traffops/saferesr/trafdata/2005all/r005-6i.htm Um, that Analog Hyperlink does not appear to be working: Web Page Not Found We're sorry, but we cannot locate the Web page you are looking for.

For those of us who are not as familiar with the "Y", can >you elaborate on direction, roadway, etc that you are on while filming? Certianly. I was on the exit ramp from the southbound 5 that leads to the Lake Forest exit. It's the very high ramp in the center of this photo: http://www.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=El+Toro,+CA&ie=UTF8&om=1&z=16&ll=33.64667 1,-117.737303&spn=0.008574,0.027122&t=k&iwloc=addr This ramp is a flyover that allows the 405 to pass beneath it, so it offers a nice vantage point to view the entire interchange. In retrospect, it would have worked better if I had been driving a high-profile vehicle; my ground-hugging sports car just can't see over the damn K-rail! :-/ SignatureMy driving videos: http://www.geocities.com/slothkills/videos.html > 26 lanes wide. 356,000+ vehicles per day.
