Annual aerial views of Los Angeles just days before Thanksgiving resemble an apocalyptic scene.
Take note: steer clear of Los Angeles around Thanksgiving. It’s become a tradition for the City of Angels to showcase mind-boggling aerial footage of the area surrounding Los Angeles International Airport, where brake lights blink red and white in a seemingly endless line for miles.
“It’s that time of year again,” ABC News noted on Instagram. “Southern California travelers are out and about visiting family and friends, but the freeway’s glow is a less-than-pleasant sight for those stuck in their cars.”
If you’re not one of the unlucky souls caught in that gridlock, the view is almost mesmerizing. It’s as if the city decided to adorn itself in festive candy cane colors. Ha!
Traffic congestion kicked off on Tuesday, November 26—just two days before Thanksgiving. While it’s a wild sight, just imagine if a national emergency were to occur. There’d be no escape! Actually, let’s not go there—that thought is downright frightening.
For those living in LA or traveling there, the rush isn’t going to ease up anytime soon. The airport is preparing for over 200,000 arrivals and departures from LAX the day before Thanksgiving, so those red and white lights will continue to dazzle for a while.
Across the rest of the nation, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) anticipates screening 26.8 million travelers over the Thanksgiving weekend, a 4% increase from last year. According to INRIX, a global transportation analytics firm, November 27 will likely be the most chaotic day for Thanksgiving road travel, with typical drive times potentially quadrupling. So, keep that in mind as you make your way to see relatives just a few blocks away.
As a resident of Los Angeles myself, I’m opting to relax at home and plan to take a leisurely stroll to the grocery store later to pick up a pie. Sorry, but that’s the only sane way to enjoy a stress-free Thanksgiving in Southern California.
