This caught my eye because I once saw this traffic jam. It was around 20 years ago and I was driving from Sacramento to Sedona to stay at a friend's place for a week. Luckily I wasn't going to either LV or LA and was only on I-15 for a short distance while going through Barstow on my way to I-40 from hwy 58.
This was the Sunday after TG traffic jam and I was going in the opposite direction - about 9-10PM when I got to Barstow. I drove past stopped cars on the other side of the highway for what seemed like 20 minutes. It was the LONGEST line of stopped (or barely moving) cars I had seen in my whole life before or since. While planning this trip, it never occurred to me that the TG traffic would be an issue - I got lucky that I just happened to be going in the direction that was moving.
