Almost 49 million people are expected to travel at least 50 miles for Thanksgiving Day.
That’s a million more than 2015, and the most since 2007, according to the American Automobile Association.
Some social media users said it looked like the I-405 – which is no stranger to congestion – had been decorated with Christmas lights.
Another called the gridlock “the Most Epic Mannequin Challenge EVER!”
