Eastbound signage at the start of Interstate 105 (Century Freeway) west of LAX. Between this point and the 405 Freeway, the Century Freeway runs on an elevated structure overtop of Imperial Boulevard. Much of the car chase scene at the end of the Die Hard 4 movie were filmed on Imperial Boulevard underneath the Century Freeway. |

Signage at the ramp to I-405 from the Century Freeway West. I-105's carpool lanes end at the upcoming 405 Freeway interchange, hence traffic is permitted to exit the carpool lane, but not to enter it. |

Westerly view approaching the Harbor Freeway interchange. As there is for eastbound traffic, there is a direct ramp from west I-105 to the Harbor Freeway north. The interchange between the Century and Harbor Freeways is one of the largest and most complicated freeway interchanges in the world. |

A unique situation where there is a partial gantry on the left side of the road mounted almost perfectly opposite a partial gantry mounted to the right of the road. California generally does not use full width overhead gantrys unless approaching a freeway to freeway interchange. |

Pass-through signage in advance of the Long Beach Freeway interchange. Of note, the button-copy signage has been replaced with reflective signage during recent years. It is surprising to see new signage on the Century Freeway given California's tight fiscal budget's during the past few years (as of 2010), coupled with the fact that the Century Freeway isn't really that old. |

Westerly view from Barlin Avenue. Note the proximity of the next overpass to Barlin Avenue -- in general the 105 Freeway was constructed with numerous residential overpasses so as to minimize the disruption to the surrounding neighbourhoods. |

Exit signage for Lakewood Boulevard. As is obvious from the button copy signage, Highway 19 was recently decommissioned form Lakewood Boulevard. Like Ontario, California has been divesting itself of highways through urban areas. Though the lack of a continuous route number can be confusing to traffic, it often makes sense for urban roads to be maintained by the local city or county. |

Signage just past the bull-nose for the Interstate 605 interchange. The Green LRT Line that runs in the median of the Century Freeway also terminates at the 605 Freeway in Norwalk. The Green Line is underutilized despite its relatively short headway between trains and grade separated right of way. Because transit lines offer far less route flexibility then passenger cars, transit planners must be careful to ensure that a transit line passes through several origins and destinations along its route. As has been seen with LA's Green Line, transit trips that involve multi-seat rides do not attract significant ridership. |

View of the 105/605 Freeway interchange from the Carpools Only ramp from Studebaker Road. The Carpools Only link is a clever way of providing access to the surrounding community without inundating Studebaker Road (and Norwalk in general) with errant freeway traffic. |
