Laurel Canyon Boulevard is a stop and go street that is the beginning of the proposed Laurel Canyon Freeway. It is also served by Metro Local lines 230 and 218. Traffic on the area is heavy and drivers should use alternate routes like the freeway. In this article, we will take a look at the traffic on this popular stop and go road and why it’s important to monitor real time traffic on it.
Laurel Canyon Boulevard is a stop-and-go street
Laurel Canyon Boulevard, a busy north-south street in Los Angeles, is temporarily closed due to a massive concrete slab fall. While two lanes have been opened since then, the street remains closed to all but local traffic. Engineers and crews are working to fix the roadway. Meanwhile, concrete barriers have been installed to slow traffic. But it is important to remember that traffic will continue to be backed up along the road until it’s completely fixed.
Laurel Canyon Boulevard runs south of the Hollywood Freeway (SR 171), passing through the Valley Village neighborhood. It is about a mile from Hollywood Split, the intersection of U.S. 101/SR 170 and the Ventura (U.S. 101/SR 134) freeways. A proposed freeway along the Laurel Canyon Boulevard route would have connected southeastern Los Angeles to Los Angeles International Airport. However, the Laurel Canyon Freeway never materialized, and the neighborhood was transformed into a movie star enclave.
In the 1970s, Laurel Canyon was a place of free love, music, and drugs. It was a place that embodied the psychedelic scene and was a magnet for aspiring hippies. Unfortunately, the hippie lifestyle and Laurel Canyon Boulevard were doomed by the Manson murders, and the neighborhood was once a thriving hippie haven.
In the 1960s, the area was a nexus of counterculture activity. Many famous rock and roll musicians, including Jim Morrison of the Doors and David Crosby, lived here. The area also became home to the Mamas & Papas and Joni Mitchell. In fact, “Ladies of the Canyon” is a song about Laurel Canyon Boulevard, which is named after the neighborhood where the artist lived.
The neighborhood was once the favorite hangout of hippies and creatives. Artists like Clara Bow, Bella Lugosi, and Harry Houdini lived in the neighborhood. The Beatniks took over the neighborhood after the World War II, and Laurel Canyon was the center of hippie culture. Famous people like Robert Mitchum were arrested for marijuana possession in 1948 and sentenced to 60 days in jail.
It’s a stop-and-go street
The term “stop” is used to refer to a lane on a road that is not designated as a one-way street. The word “stop” is derived from the Latin word for stop, but is used in other languages as well. It is the most commonly used word for this purpose. There are some differences between these two terms, however. In some countries, the word for “stop” is not used.
It’s served by Metro Local lines 218 and 230
There are numerous bus routes that serve the Laurel Canyon neighborhood. The 230 bus line has 51 stops and runs everyday. You can ride the 230 at the Ventura/Laurel Canyon stop.

It was the start of the proposed Laurel Canyon Freeway
Laurel Canyon Boulevard is a major thoroughfare located in the southern San Fernando Valley. It crosses the Hollywood Freeway (SR 170) and passes through the Valley Village neighborhood. It’s about a mile west of Hollywood Split, the intersection of U.S. 101/SR 170 and Ventura Boulevard/SR 134. It was the proposed start of the Laurel Canyon Freeway, which would have connected the southeastern San Fernando Valley to Los Angeles International Airport. However, the area quickly became a movie star enclave due to its proximity to Hollywood.
Engineers initially planned to connect the Los Angeles International Airport to the Hollywood Bowl with a freeway. They were able to construct part of the freeway between La Cienega Avenue and Slauson Avenue, which was later renamed La Cienega Avenue. The route was built for about two miles, before a final decision was made in the 1950s. It’s unclear exactly how much of the original plan was built, but the proposed route was more than two miles long.
Originally, the Laurel Canyon Freeway was supposed to connect I-405 with State 170 in Baldwin Hills. In the early 1960s, the proposed route was built in part to accommodate the Laurel Canyon Freeway interchange. Nevertheless, opposition to the freeway stopped the project. The project ended in abandonment in the late 1960s, but La Cienega Blvd was built with four lanes and later widened to six. In addition, the proposed Laurel Canyon Freeway replaced Slauson Avenue and Kenneth Hahn Regional Park.
This freeway route is not part of the original plan of the state. Despite the fact that it’s not part of the current state plan, it was still proposed in 1957. The original route for the present day Route 23 was originally a US 101 to Route 118 portion. This route was listed as LRN 155 on the 1963 map. Another project that was planned in the 1950s was the Saugus Expressway. The current route of US 126 is a continuation of the old route 76. The proposed Route 47 connects the Valley to LRN 167.
