Freeway chase scene question...did they reverse flow of traffic?


For the filming?...I live in San Diego but not familiar with 710 there near the south end...very unusual anywhere for U.S. (and most of the world) for you not to drive on the right side...for example (if you were standing next to freeway facing north) northbound lanes on right side...southbound lanes on left...

I will try to watch the The directors commentary again. ..

Friedkin reportedly did that to add to the chaos of the scene. It's kind of like the rest of the movie, meaning it's conceptually great but is generally undone by Friedkin's goofy indulgences.
