Gotta admit, the landscaping's great

Regular commuters on Kanan Road to the 101 should not expect the new interchange built by Caltrans to speed their entrance to the freeway. It was never intended to do that for you.

Caltrans wants heavy traffic to remain on the surface streets, and it moderates the traffic entering the freeway to accomplish this goal. There are no freeway entrances that have high speed two lane entrances. The freeway could not handle it, and the traffic jam would be on the freeway where they don't want it.

Caltrans builds things, for money, lots of it, but not to speed up surface street traffic. When they next replace the Reyes Adobe interchange, surface street entrance speeds will not improve because the freeway can't handle it, but the landscaping will improve. Kevin H. Park Woodland Hills
