There have been a high number of sightings of individuals living on freeways, under the underpasses, which should be addressed by Caltrans.
Encampments have sprouted up on freeways throughout Los Angeles and Orange Counties, particularly on the 105, 110 and 5 freeways.

Why? Just why are there even so many PEDESTRIANS on the freeway lately?!?!!! There’s aren’t supposed to be people walking around on the freeway! Nobody is expecting there to be so if your walking around on the freeway for no reason then I must conclude u intend to be hit. And if that’s the way ur trying to go, then shame on u for getting someone else involved in ur departure against their will. Selfish.
Because they live on them.
