Waze will get you anywhere in LA without a freeway.

Once you learn the side streets, there's always a faster way when the freeway is backed up.

Yup, and most people speed on "side streets", which are actually residential streets and people actually walk on these...

Can't tell you how many times I almost got run over by such a fine motorist glued to yet another app...

I agree, general disregard for pedestrians is a big problem. Crosswalks are either a test of bravery or stupidity

Ok fountain and venice are not going to save anybody from the free ways. People know about side streets, they're not really that much help. This problem isn't going away just like the cities revenue problem which is the only reason this is happening.
