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 assembled a suite of turn restrictions and other signage options for the Encino Hills neighborhood to reduce cut-through traffic headed to Hayvenhurst/Calneva or Sepulveda Blvd.
Beginning March 2026, turn restrictions and no-right-turn-on-red signs have been posted at 15 total locations, shown on this map created by the Encino Neighborhood Council. This “tactical trial” of turn restrictions is the first phase of a three-phase plan to address traffic issues in the Encino Hills.
CD4 and LADOT will solicit direct feedback from Encino stakeholders via a survey accessible at this link. Informational signage will also be posted throughout the neighborhood. Additionally, LADOT will collect traffic count data. Together, these sources of data will guide any potential adjustments to the trial model.
Phase two of the Encino Hills traffic calming plan aims to address unsafe driving and speeding in the area. During this phase, LADOT will study and design a suite of potential solutions to be implemented during the third phase of the project. 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.
