Council District 4 and the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) are working together with local community groups on attainable solutions to cut-through traffic and traffic speed issues in the Encino Hills area.
Following the completion of a digital survey and its analysis along with data gathering in the field in 2024, LADOT has assembled a suite of turn restrictions and other signage options for the Encino Hills neighborhood to reduce cut-through traffic headed toHayvenhurst/Calneva or Sepulveda Blvd. Turn restrictions at these locations will be implemented under a “tactical trial” model where we will again survey area residents as well as post interpretive and interactive signage for residents, commuters, and other stakeholders to engage with. During a period deemed sufficient by LADOT, which could be anywhere from six months to a year, LADOT will gather traffic and survey data, which together will guide any potential adjustments to the trial model.
The initial survey also addressed issues of unsafe driving and speeding. Now that the initial phase of turn restriction locations has been determined, LADOT will begin to study and design a suite of potential solutions for those issues as well.. Such potential solutions could include adding select features to slow street traffic, such as speed humps/tables, gateway treatments (similar to those at Escalon Dr/Hayvenhurst), medians, and other treatments.
