Between the Hollywood Freeway and Cahuenga Blvd, these days LA motorists have more than a dozen lanes to drive in when coming and going through the Cahuenga Pass in Hollywood. This photo shows, however, that in 1920, Angelenos had two streetcars and lanes—and those lanes weren’t even painted. In fact, I don’t think they were even paved. Of course, back then, you were driving out into the countryside into the San Fernando Valley, which was practically all fields and orchards.

This January 2020 satellite image show was the Cahuenga Pass looks like these days. (For some reason, those satellite images never show any cars, but I can assure you, there’s always traffic on these roads.)
