This article in Plane and Pilot Magazine confirms what’s written on the LAX chart (no ATC clearance required to transit the Special Flight Rules Area above LAX) and provides some insight into why e.g. Class C airspace requires more ATC resources than airspace in which VFR’s don’t need clearance:

Of the 40 designated blocks of Class B airspace in America, only a few approve VFR flyways adjacent to the major airport. These are intended to expedite the flow of traffic rather than funnel it 20 to 30 miles around busy terminal airspace. In some instances, this allows VFR aircraft to fly directly through the center of the “upside-down wedding cake” of many Class B airspace configurations.

Los Angeles has a VFR corridor similar to New York’s, though it’s slightly better defined and more formal, but it’s equally convenient for facilitating the flow of traffic from north to south. Again, it doesn’t demand ATC services, and that’s good rather than bad. Just as in New York, ATC in Los Angeles is often far too busy to contend with VFR aircraft.

It’s significant that the Los Angeles corridor has never had a midair collision, partially a function of the vertical separation of opposing traffic by the usual 1,000 feet. Another factor is pilots who are more diligent in assuring their own reasonable separation when they know there’s no controller looking out for them.
