Only two exits were built for Laurel Cyn Fwy (maybe 3, dont quote me on that)

That's a reference to the section of freeway along La Cienega, right?  The two exits on that stretch are Slauson Avenue and the Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area.

Here's a second by second comparison of the freeway in 1988 VS 2022

CA/LRN 95 is what became US 395, it looks from the maps above. Is 395 more related to this LRN than to US 95 then, as there's no direct relation to US 95 outside of US 195?

LRN 95 was actually a very small state highway, CA 7 was on the majority of LRN 23.  Strangely US 95 took over the route of the first CA 195, I always thought that was an ironic numbering.
Based on another post you made the other day, I think the reason why CA-195 was chosen (as well as original CA-95) was because they were the highest possible two- and three-digit routes available for SoCal. Just like 96 was put at the top of the state and 94 and 98 put at the bottom of the state, at the time, 95 and 195 were the farther east routes. The only question is why 95 was put where it was instead of 127, but this might be because two-digit routes seemed to say closer to major cities.

That is a cool one to see how that part of Los Angeles has changed over the years.

I was interested in seeing what Metro had in store for the future of the 405 and found this list from their site. A big project that stood out was extending the express lanes that are now being constructed in Orange County all the way up to the 105. A few others that stood out included improving the 10/405 interchange and even adding an HOV lane from the 405 to LAX. If this stuff ever happens, who knows.

The list is in the documents section:

Here's an interesting question I thought about driving home from work (on the 405): some of the mileage in the pass has R postmiles. That means it was realigned after the 1964 designation. So does this mean that some portions of Sepulveda were actually (perhaps unsigned) Route 405 between 7/1/1964 and when the freeway was constructed?
