Picture shows traffic policemen directing traffic away from entering Washington at Pacific.  Apparently, two traffic policemen took note of the tie up and decided to divert the traffic last Sunday.   County parking lot was filled.  Street from Pacific to parking lot was filled. (See remarks by Fran Conneely and Marilyn Roland under Comments.)

Traffic from Pacific to the County parking lots–at Washington, Venice, Rose–on weekends is a jam or mess.  Traffic backs up from lot to Pacific waiting for a parking place.

Posting signs at Pacific,  stating County Lot is full, was discussed at the last Ocean Front Walk Task Force Meet this month.  It was suggested that when a lot is full, to post sign stating such but post it at Pacific, allowing people to go down Pacific. Right now traffic builds up from Pacific to lot and doesn’t move or moves very slowly as cars divert to the Speedway.

Traffic on Venice Blvd has been backed up to Abbot Kinney Blvd.  People get impatient and race down other streets, or if they are caught in that traffic, get even more bothered.

One member of OFW task force mentioned that there were private parking spots on the Speedway.  True, but the only private lots affected would be those south of Rose Ave on Speedway.  So put the sign at Speedway.

Having a sign stating lot is full on Pacific for Washington and at Venice Blvd county parking lots would not affect private parking off the speedway.
