And this one makes little sense to me. I can understand most of the rest,
but the San Diego was designed for high speed. When I've driven it, the
flow from OC to LAX (and back) has been mostly wide open. From LAX to
the Santa Monica it does get congested, but that is its own speed limit
- the road itself is still fine and at 4am ought to accept 65 just fine.
In fact, the HOV lane traffic moves at 75+ along most of this route.
Heaven help the poor fool who tries to drive 55 in the HOV lane!
