Red Flag Day restrictions are imposed during times of high fire danger.

The restrictions are aimed at ensuring that emergency vehicles are able to navigate sometimes-narrow streets to respond to fires, and to ensure residents are able to safely evacuate neighborhoods.

The following streets are affected:

• Mount Wilson Trail Road Woodland Drive Old Ranch Road
• Churchill Road Brookside Lane Forest Lane
• Skyland Drive Sunnyside Lane Casey Street
• Fern Glen Yucca Trail Madre Lane
• Fern Drive Holly Trail Path Hermosa Ave, North of Carter Ave.
• Idle Hour Lane Sturtevant Drive Auburn, North of Grand View Ave.
• Canyon Crest Drive Elm Street Cañon Drive
• Orange Drive Pleasant Hill Lane Oakcrest Drive
• Carter Ave. Alta Vista Drive Vista Circle Drive
