The massive traffic on the notorious highway was caused by an i
nflux of people coming in and out of the city for Thanksgiving.

Many drivers vented frustration on social media. "Are you sure that's traffic?" One person posted on Twitter.

"Maybe they decorated the 405 with Christmas lights." Another tweeted: "it's called the 405 for a reason: it takes you '4 o' 5' hours to get anywhere."
