This was on a very busy four lane road with poor pavement and cars
parked at the curbs, lots of shopping centers, stand alone stores and
manufacturing with the associated driveways and and intersections with
signals. I can't think of anywhere near where I spotted them that would
be a suitable place to train at speed. This was in the City Of
Industry/Covina area about 15 miles east of Pasadena.
