As of this week, there were ships stuck in that position at the two ports, a record. Fifty-seven more ships were in berth at the ports. Thanks to a complex and interlocking web of factors that touches every node of the supply chain — worker shortages, corporate misjudgments regarding the demand of their products during the pandemic, and more — the traffic jams at ports are unlikely to dissipate anytime soon.
The supply-chain crisis has emerged not only as a headache for consumers, but a mess for the Biden administration, especially with the holiday season approaching. Last week, President Biden announced that the Port of Los Angeles would begin hour operations to clear the enormous backlog, and the White House has touted progress on that front.
But the traffic jam remains. Below, pictures from the scene that illustrate the challenges ahead. We just have some of the last decisions to be made. Federal regulators evaluated for the first time on Friday the safety and efficacy of a coronavirus vaccine for children 5 to 11, saying that the benefits of staving off Covid with the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine generally outweighed the risks of the most worrisome possible side effects in that age group.
The analysis came on the same day that the Food and Drug Administration posted data from Pfizer showing that the vaccine had a The findings could add momentum for F. Already a subscriber?
The carpool lane ends once and complete their merge. From here, U. California will resume as an unsigned route at the Highland Avenue interchange just south of Cahuenga Pass. Although not part of the state highway system, this series of photos profiles La Cienega Boulevard as it leads north from Interstate toward Interstate This interchange was configured as a freeway-to-freeway interchange, even though the freeway to La Cienega Boulevard was never built.
Now on its own alignment parallel to Interstate , northbound La Cienega Boulevard avoids most cross streets starting with Manchester Boulevard, which crosses overhead. Here the freeway is still within the footprint of nearby Interstate After the Florence Avenue overpass, northbound La Cienega Boulevard pulls away from Interstate and shifts onto its own alignment.
The highway carries four to six lanes and has traffic signals and cross traffic between here and Slauson Avenue. This is a very busy roadway, with limited sidewalks to start and power lines hanging over the travel lanes.
There are several approaching side streets, so watch for turning traffic. Immediately thereafter, northbound La Cienega Boulevard meets Fairview Boulevard at this traffic signal. A pedestrian bridge crosses La Cienega Boulevard to allow residential access to a school on the east side of La Cienega Boulevard. Beginning its freeway segment, the first exit along northbound La Cienega Boulevard is with Slauson Avenue next right.
Northbound La Cienega Boulevard meets the off-ramp to Slauson Avenue, which is the planned alignment for California 90 should it ever be extended east of the Marina Freeway segment. Built in the s, La Cienega Boulevard features an older look to its freeway segment.
Concrete banks line both sides of the freeway as it descends to pass under Slauson Avenue. Somewhat unusual was an experiment to have different speed limits in each lane of La Cienega Boulevard, using the concept that the left lane would have faster vehicles and the right lane would have slower vehicles. The experiment called for the left lane to have a faster speed limit than the right lane, and speed limit signs were posted on overpasses along La Cienega Boulevard back when the study was conducted.
As one could imagine, the various speed limits did not work, and now there are three speed limit signs, each with the same speed limit, posted over each lane of northbound La Cienega at Slauson Avenue. As a new lane joins northbound La Cienega Boulevard after the Slauson Avenue interchange, the freeway now has four northbound lanes La Cienega Boulevard skirts the western edge of the Baldwin Hills, which have been tapped for oil and gas for decades.
Yes, the freeway briefly ends ahead. The freeway resumes ahead. The tall power lines that have lined La Cienega Boulevard since leaving Interstate finally split away after the Stocker Street intersection.
La Cienega Boulevard continues through the industrial Baldwin Hills area. Look for oil derricks and other oil-related plants nearby. We've not seen this arrangement with speed limit signs anywhere else in Southern California. The three different speed limit signs are posted here because at one point an experiment was conducted where each lane had a separate speed limit, with rates faster to the left and slower to the right.
