Traffic is H-E-double-toothpicks! -[ HSS ]-

Heavy afternoon traffic on southbound Interstate 5 through Camp Pendleton the day after Thanksgiving in the US. Fortunately, it was only moderately slow, speeding up in bursts, over the next twenty miles (32.2 km) or so.

 

The street name on the sign, Las Pulgas, is Spanish for “the fleas” and references a Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton unit. I couldn't find any explanation for the amusing name, and can only speculate the area was infested with fleas at the time the unit was established.
