The world's leaders in Intelligent Transport Systems will be heading to Los Angeles in two weeks' time for the ITS World Congress, and Highways News will, of course, be there to report with daily Highways Voices podcasts.

There is always a danger that people who head to big events end up spending their time in airports and planes, then hotels and convention centres and they see little of the city they're visiting. Therefore, Highways Voices has spoken to British-born ITS expert and 33-year LA resident Alan Clelland of DKS Associates to give us a guide to his adopted city.

These interviews were recorded to be used on the preview podcast and daily programmes from LA, but Alan is so insightful that we've put together his entire guide into one special podcast that is invaluable if you're heading to LA. In this podcast he talks about the city, the cuisine, entertainment venues, arts and museums, getting around and, of course, chilling on the beach.

All our podcasts for the World Congress are thanks to the generous support of our sponsors GEWI, SWARCO, Nota AI and Navtech Radar, all of whom you can meet in LA.
