Street and lane closures for filming in Camarillo require a Special Event Permit through the Department of Community Development, with at least seven days' notice and coordination with Public Works and the Ventura County Sheriff's Department (which provides Camarillo policing). Closures typically require traffic-control plans, signed detours, and certified flaggers.
A Special Event Permit application for any street or lane closure must include a Traffic Control Plan prepared per the California MUTCD, certificates of insurance ($1M/$2M GL), and the production's City business tax certificate. Notice to affected residents and businesses along the closure route is required, typically 72 hours in advance. The Ventura County Sheriff's Department (which handles Camarillo policing under contract) must approve and may require off-duty deputies at the production's cost. Full closures of arterial streets like Pleasant Valley Road or Las Posas Road generally require additional coordination with Public Works.
Closing a Camarillo street without a permit is a misdemeanor under CMC traffic chapters and Vehicle Code §22500. Producers can be held responsible for emergency-response costs if a closure interferes with emergency access.
