To better address safety, access, and circulation concerns related to construction activities of new developments on narrow streets within hillside neighborhoods, the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT) releases this addendum to the LADOT Transportation Assessment Guidelines (TAG). This addendum provides guidance when considering traffic management measures for hillside development projects in narrow roadways of less than 24‐feet in width.

While most hillside developments screen out of a Vehicle Miles Traveled analysis according to the TAG, these projects may still require CEQA analysis to address potential geometric design hazards or emergency access concerns or may require a safety and access assessment outside of the CEQA process to consider how the construction activities impact local circulation, emergency access, deliveries, and street parking.
