As the fall session for local colleges begins, we anticipate a significant increase in traffic around campus areas and main thoroughfares. Key areas affected include Bellflower Blvd. and 7th St.
Recommendations for Patients:
- Plan Ahead: Allow extra time for your commute.
- Public Transportation: Utilize public transportation options such as buses and trains to reduce the number of vehicles on the road.
- Stay Informed: Keep up-to-date with real-time traffic updates through GPS navigation apps and local traffic news.
- Pedestrian Awareness: Be mindful of increased pedestrian traffic, especially near crosswalks and campus zones.
- Speed Limits: Adhere to posted speed limits and be prepared for potential delays.
- Parking: Avoid illegal parking and use designated parking areas to prevent bottlenecks and ensure emergency access.
