Actually, the story of Los Angeles IS the story of transportation. This sprawling metropolis is completely dictated by the roads that run through it. A large part of the noir feeling this city has is the glowing ribbons of light in the night - ribbons of light created by the thin pathways through the mountains that bisect her. This is a city that can only be viewed in its entirety from far above. One half of Los Angeles can't see what the other half is doing. The only way to maneuver at night in Los Angeles is by vehicle, on the dimly-lit roads.

Without the car headlight, this would be a thread entitled "Pitch Blackish Los Angeles."
