Motorists Warned of Obama Traffic

Los Angeles city officials have warned locals that traffic in the area could slow Monday and Tuesday as President Barack Obama will be visiting the region for fundraising events.

"My office is currently in touch with the White House and the Secret Service to express concern over the potential traffic delays that have been seen in past presidential visit," said Los Angeles City Councilman Bill Rosendahl in a statement Friday. "My office has also been in close communication with the Los Angeles Police Department and the Department of Transportation to ensure every effort is being made to direct traffic around the closures."

Obama previously visited the Los Angeles area in April, and a few roads were closed for the presidential motorcade.

Now for Hermosa Beach drivers venturing out of the South Bay, Rosendahl said that the following streets could be impacted:

• Sunset Boulevard between Barrington Avenue and La Cienega Boulevard
• La Cienega Boulevard between Melrose Avenue and Warring Street
• Sunset Boulevard between Rodeo Drive and Barrington Avenue
• La Cienega in West Hollywood will be shut down Monday from 7:15 to 10 p.m.
