Special Event
Traffic Management
About 2,500 special
events are held in the City of Los Angeles every year. These
events range from fixed gatherings at one site, like block parties
and Dodger baseball games, to moving events that travel along
City streets, such as parades and the Los Angeles Marathon.
 |
Several agencies in the
City oversee special
event approval. While the Los Angeles Department
of Transportation is not one of those agencies, it does
plan for managing special event traffic and street closures.
The Department’s special traffic
operations engineers determine the steps necessary to
manage the event. Some events require only small traffic
and safety measures; others need a Special Event Traffic
Management Plan.
