Ridgewood NJ, Angelenos love to poke fun at how much time they waste on the 405 – a freeway so clogged near spots like LAX and the Sepulveda Pass that it’s practically a rite of passage. Down in Miami, some stretches of the I-95 are essentially a daily parking lot, with heavy commuter and tourist traffic snarling its lanes. Drivers bake under the Florida sun as they ponder why they didn’t take the train – or even a jet ski – to work.
