LAX traffic at 10:30pm on a weeknight

I picked up my roommate last night from LAX around 10pm. And... the conditions were the same as this:




It's extremely crowded because everyone can leave the east coast and mid-west in the late afternoon or early evening and still get into LA at a reasonable time. Remind me next time, grab people from the upper deck to avoid the traffic. It's much much faster. I think it took me about 30 minutes to make it around the lower deck with all the traffic.
