Street closures for film production in San Leandro require an approved parking and traffic plan as part of the Administrative Code Title 32 film permit. Closures cannot be approved until the parking plan is signed off, and only San Leandro Police Department personnel may be used to direct traffic.
Under the City's Film Permit Instructions and Regulations, no film permit will be issued until the parking plan is approved by the Film Liaison and the SLPD Traffic Unit. Closures of arterial streets (East 14th, Marina, Washington, Davis) typically require 14 days lead time and a Caltrans encroachment permit where state routes are involved. Only on-duty or off-duty SLPD officers may staff the closure (paid by the production at standard overtime rates), and Alameda County Fire must approve any closure that affects emergency response routes. Productions must post 'No Parking - Tow Away' signs 72 hours in advance under California Vehicle Code 22651(m). Residents on closed blocks must be notified in writing.
Closing a street without an approved plan is a violation of Title 32 and SLMC general provisions; vehicles parked in violation of CVC 22651 signage may be towed at owner expense. Repeat productions that violate closure rules may be denied future permits.
