L.A. Traffic Mess, 405 Closure, Mobile Reminders, Apps and Advice

405.jpgJust in case you haven't heard via text message, road sign, TV, radio or even your nosy neighbors, this weekend in Los Angeles, the major freeway (Interstate 405) will be
closed between the 101 and 10 freeways, causing a traffic nightmare
called Carmageddon.

So what should you do about the 405 closure?  It is best not to even think about driving to the west
side of Los Angeles or the beach.  However, if you must, there are
some apps and mobile websites that could help, which we published on Wednesday.  We think that the mobile Sigalert website offered the best options.  Read all Wimonews' suggestions for beating  L.A. traffic this weekend.

Please also remember that, whatever you do, even if you are stuck in a crawling slow traffic jam, don't resort to texting while driving.
