The route the hitchhiker takes in that short film

The short film titled ‘The hitchhiker’ is a version of the beginning segment of ‘Nausea’. The differences are minor. Her route home at the end of the day amused me:

‘She continued north on the 405, took the Venice Boulevard exit west, ran a red light at Barrington, cut through a supermarket parking lot, doubled back, and crossed over a drawbridge to a service road that ran along the railroad tracks. She circled around the monument at Del Mar and turned left on Olympic when a stray dog ran out in front of her, and she hit the brakes, put the car into a controlled spin, skidded across the median, and came out on the other side of the boulevard going the other direction. Then she picked up the 405 to the Wilshire Boulevard exit and drove into Westwood.’

There's no light at Venice and Barrington; Barrington dead-ends into Venice. There's no supermarket on this part of Barrington. The only drawbridge in LA county is the Vincent Thomas, near the harbor, far from this action. The railroad tracks are just south of Olympic, parallel it. I don't remember a service road. There is no Del Mar on the west side of town; no Del Mar intersects Olympic anywhere in LA county. Exiting the 405 at Venice then returning to it on Olympic makes no sense: she would have stayed on the 405. I would have taken Barrington to Wilshire once I was on Olympic west of the 405. (Barrington is broken into bits; it doesn't run from Venice to Olympic.)

In ‘Nausea’ she ends up at the Westwood Sheraton, which doesn't exist. Her route isn't described.

Venice Boulevard began as a dirt track next to the Pacific Electric railroad, the famous ‘Red Cars’, a commuter railroad that started in 1902. It straddled the tracks when it was paved, is still divided today though the tracks are gone. It goes to downtown LA; it turns into 16th at Main. It never crosses or comes close to railroad tracks.

Many believe the oil companies eliminated the Red Cars to promote auto traffic.

BTW, the woman isn't a hitchhiker.
