Tour Drivers Beware! No More Access to Hollywood Sign Viewpoint from Outpost Drive

Dear Friends, liebe Freunde, chèrs amis, queridos amigos!

My colleague, driver David Lewis, was mentioned in Los Angeles Times yesterday. Not for fun reasons! David got pulled over by the police on Outpost Drive - the small curvy street many of us drive to get from Hollywood and Highland to Mulholland Drive and the great view point of the Hollywood Bowl and Hollywood sign. He was driving an open-top van with 14 passengers. Van plus passengers exceed the 6000-pound limit and the police is cracking down. Too many vans were going up and too many celebrities with homes in the area were complaining.
See the full article in L.A. Times.

Now, how do you get there without getting a ticket?
It is legal and safe to take Highland Avenue North, passed the Bowl, continue on Cahuenga Blvd parallel to the 101 Freeway, turn left on Woodrow Wilson Drive and follow the road.

Bon Voyage!
Marion
