 GEOG: After Max picks up Annie at LAX she suggests taking La Brea  Ave to 6th St and heading downtown. Max advises against this, citing  that traffic gets heavy on La Brea above (north of) Santa Monica  Blvd. This is irrelevant because 6th street is about two miles south  of Santa Monica Blvd and if they were to have taken her route they  would have turned onto sixth long before Santa Monica Blvd would  have come up.
