On April 2, LADOT announced a new effort to help restaurants and other foodservice providers cope with increased demand for pick-up and delivery options caused by the outbreak of COVID-19. With all dine-in services temporarily suspended, delivery and take-out options have become the only source of revenue for many Los Angeles area food establishments.

To encourage safer driving across the city, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation has adjusted signals across the City to “nighttime mode.” As people are ordered to stay at home, traffic volumes have significantly decreased. The good news is that traffic and air quality have significantly improved. The bad news is that empty streets seem to encourage some Angelenos to speed dangerously through the City. 

 LADOT operates the most advanced signal synchronization system in the world, which means that typically, signals are coordinated automatically to help ease…

Effective Friday, April 3, LADOT will not issue citations on vehicles displaying a recently-expired annual or visitor permit within the corresponding Preferential Parking District. This grace period will extend for two weeks after the expiration of a permit. LADOT will also email a two-week, temporary parking permit free-of-charge to be printed at home for those that have renewed their annual or visitor permit online but may not receive them before the existing permit expires.
