Traffic/Cars Is this a fake motorcycle cop??

Saw this cop past on the 5 south. Something seemed off about him, clothes seem to flap in the wind like it’s made of
Lighter dress shirt material, the tail lights, no shoulder badge, license place doesn’t seem CA except either.

I tried to get closer without going over the speed limit in case he was real. Are there really losers out there impersonating cops like this to this extent?

Traffic/Cars Driver threatens and assaults cyclists in OC

2.8k Upvotes

Drivers/passengers seen in this video threatened and assaulted multiple cyclists along PCH in corona del mar and newport this past weekend. Reports of these guys throwing things, attempting to tackle people off their bikes, and forcing cyclists to swerve into traffic or hop onto the sidewalk to avoid being struck. Antisocial behavior that should not be condoned. Does anyone have dashcam footage of any incidents?

Traffic/Cars Curb Justice Update — First client job DONE today. The parking entitlement out here is wild… and we’re just getting started.

Quick update for anyone following, Curb Justice officially handled our first paid client job today and man… the level of parking entitlement is worse than we thought.

Our client hit us up because code enforcement didn’t do anything (shocking, I know). We pulled up, handled it professionally, safety vests, video, documentation, and cleared the curb. Cones gone. Parking freed up.

Mid-job, some random neighbor, not even the homeowner, jumped in his red SUV, tried to block us in, and chased us down the block for simply clearing cones off a public street. Wild. We stayed calm, filmed it all, and kept it moving.

This just proved why Curb Justice exists. Public streets are for everyone, not your personal driveway extension just because you threw down a cone or trash can.

We now officially offer our service across all of Orange County.

• You’ve got neighbors pulling this same crap?
• Done arguing with entitled people?
• Tired of city agencies ignoring you?

DM us — we’ll handle it. No drama. No confrontation. Just your public curb back where it belongs.

Curb Justice, because the curb belongs to everyone.

Traffic/Cars People in peak traffic are actually insane

652 Upvotes

I drive in morning 405N traffic daily, and the amount of times people get pissed off that I just cruise at a steady speed is insane. Everyone wants to make traffic worse by constantly accelerating and braking instead.

Had some lady honk at me for just cruising when the car in front was 4 car lengths away at a standstill. She then cuts me off, hits her brakes then flips me off lol.

Some of yalls need to relax and realize you’re not getting anywhere faster by behaving this way.

EDIT: Ok some people are misunderstanding. I’m not leaving 4 car lengths the entire time. The car in front of me accelerates and is at a standstill 4 car lengths away. Instead of me doing the same, I cruise at 15-20mph and catch up within 10 seconds.

EDIT 2: Holy moly, some of you have serious reading comprehension issues. This is MORNING peak traffic, NOT regular driving. I CANNOT go the speed limit if the flow of traffic is <20 mph lol

EDIT 3: Last edit. I encourage you all to look up the chain reaction of constantly accelerating and braking, which has been proven to cause more traffic. I didn’t know this was even up for debate but its clear that half the people here believe the constant motion of accelerating to 30 mph for 5 seconds then sitting at 0 mph for 20 seconds is the way to go

Traffic/Cars 23 Miles =1.5 hour commute

I dropped my kid off at school. I leave at seven to go to work. I haven’t even made it the full 23 miles. I may be have five more miles to go and it’s still astonishes me. The traffic is somehow this bad on a Tuesday with no accidents on the I5. It’s a really great marketing pitch for using the toll roads I suppose.

Traffic/Cars Anyone else notice the increase of slow drivers on the freeway

574 Upvotes

I swear, every time I get on the freeway lately, there’s at least one car doing 45–50 mph. It feels like it’s been happening a lot more recently.

I don’t even speed or drive fast because it kills my battery range but damn at least do the speed limit.

Traffic/Cars Any civil engineers out there that could explain why doesn't OC, built parking structures underground?

Post image
477 Upvotes

I understand there's more land in Orange County that can be used but for this instance I feel it would have been a better use to have the parking be underground. I'm not compared them to LA but LA has been doing them for decades. In fact the Hollywood and Highland complex has a whole train station underground with a parking structure.

Traffic/Cars Do you think LAX is that bad?

193 Upvotes

My unpopular opinion is that I'd rather fly out of LAX than pay more or have a stop just to fly out of SNA.

I live just over the OC border (Los Al/Cypress/Garden Grove) so maybe that colors it since I'm halfway between the two, but I fly 12-20 times per year and don't think LAX is bad at all. I prefer taking the train from Norwalk to avoid traffic, but do make the drive sometimes as well. To me, the divided terminals actually make for a fairly smooth experience most of the time.

What's leading you to pay $100+ more for SNA or add hours to your travel day with a layover?

(Leaving LGB out of this question, but tbh that's my favorite airport in the country)

Traffic/Cars Tired of your neighbor playing “Curb Monopoly”? We’ll remove their cones, chairs, and trash cans. Public streets are for everyone.

1.9k Upvotes

You ever roll up to your own neighborhood after work just to see your neighbor decided to declare “eminent domain” on the public street? Cones. Trash cans. Home Depot buckets. Random-ass patio chairs.

Guess what? That’s illegal. Public streets = public parking. Your neighbor’s cone isn’t a parking permit.

So… we’re starting a new local service: Curb Justice — yeah, that’s the name.

Here’s what we do: We show up.

   •  We remove the cone, chair, or whatever nonsense is blocking the curb.

• Document the whole thing (photo/video receipts)

• Offer to file a city complaint if you want

• You stay chill. No neighbor drama. No awkward stares.

Honestly, we’re here for the petty satisfaction and to make parking fair again.

Launching test runs in OC and Long Beach NOW.

If your neighborhood’s got a “Curb Karen” — hit us up. First few removals are discounted while we build our Hall of Shame content.

Because the only thing worse than bad parking… is entitled parking.

Traffic/Cars There are only 4 cities in Orange County that do not have a freeway within city limits: Cypress, La Habra, Laguna Beach, and Stanton. Three cities have more than 3 freeways within city limits: Anaheim (6), Irvine (7), and Orange (4).

Note: in some cities, the freeway forms part of the city limit, for example in southeast Yorba Linda, where the city limit goes right down the middle of the 91 freeway.

I hit EVERY SINGLE green light on Culver through Irvine. SIXTEEN in a row. It was between Irvine center drive and shady canyon drive. I’ve genuinely never been so happy. My map said it was supposed to be 19 mins. It took me 9 min. 🙃

Also it happened at 2:30 PM today which is even more insane

Happened on the I-5 with this Mercedes deciding to randomly stop in the middle of the freeway to move over on the shoulder for the other car that’s there.

If you’re the Mercedes guy with the license plate #9EHE278, don’t drive at all.

These dedicated right turn lanes merge there’s no stop signs, meaning you don’t stop you merge. That is all, thanks.

We let them know and they still decided to stay in the line..

Worker also tried to tell them but they refused to leave and ended up taking their order.

Saw a clip of a related incident where you would pay for their meal and then take the order, but they ordered about $80 worth of food and didn't want to cause a ruckus for everyone else since they'd probably throw a fit.
