    Hello,

    I am Nikhil. I'm a volunteer editor on Wikipedia. We were wondering if we could use this image on Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia. You would be given credit of course and a link to this site would be placed.

    You would have to change the license of this image to Creative Commons Attribution Sharealike. Unfortunately, Wikipedia does not accept non-commercial licenses. You can change the license by clicking "edit" next to All Rights Reserved and then clicking Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons.

    Many other Flickr users have had their works published in blogs, newspapers, and magazines this way. I can provide you some examples if you'd like.

    We hope you will help us improve Wikipedia since millions of people use it everyday. Your help will improve the articles on the site. Look forward to hearing from you.

    Thanks so much,
    Nikhil

    Why do you have not much comments on this picture?? It looks beautifull to see all the trafic. Maybe cause its a normal shot to see that much traffic in LA ?

    Everyday, all day the 405 from the 10 to LAX is jammed except between 3 AM and 5 AM. This is a so typical it's unremarkable. Nice picture, though.

    Was this during the rebuild of the freeway after the earthquake? What a mess!

    Thanks for sharing this. I may use this photo for my article in an Indonesian magazine, and if so, I will certainly give a credit to this page.

    Great image. We used it in a post about how building more roads often leads to more traffic (and less use of more sustainable transport options, like mass transit). Check it out:
