The I-405 had a bad reputation even for LA. Heading south on I-5, the I-405 branches off, north of Los Angeles to hug the coast, passes LAX and rejoins I-5 at the El Toro "Y" in Orange County, at that reunion it's 22 lanes wide.

Fun fact: odd number interstate highways run north/south, even number interstate hwys run east /west
