L.A. County officials raise concerns about ‘dangerous’ intersection at end of 105 Freeway

The end of the eastbound 105 Freeway has been the site of multiple violent crashes , and now Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn is demanding that changes be made to the intersection as soon as possible.

The 105 runs west to east from SR 1 in El Segundo to the 605 Freeway in Norwalk, but the freeway itself ends at a “dangerous” intersection with Studebaker Road, Supervisor Hahn’s office said in a letter to state transportation officials on behalf of the City of Norwalk on Monday.
