LA County Code Title 16.04 governs temporary closure of public roads for parades and processions. Public Works issues road closure permits with LA County Sheriff coordination for traffic control, route review, and required liability insurance.
Parades, processions, and motorcades using county roads in unincorporated areas need a Title 16.04 road-closure permit from LA County Public Works. Applications open at least 30 days before the event and include a route map, traffic-control plan, certificate of insurance naming the county as additional insured (typically $1 million general liability), and a deposit covering Sheriff and DPW staffing. The Sheriff Department reviews routes for public-safety risk, residential noise impact, and conflict with first-responder access. Religious processions, holiday parades (including Lunar New Year in Monterey Park-adjacent areas), and civic events follow the same process. Permit fees are tiered by attendance — small under 250, medium up to 1,000, and large above 1,000 participants.
Conducting a parade without a permit constitutes an unlawful obstruction of right-of-way, exposing organizers to misdemeanor citation, immediate Sheriff dispersal, and civil liability for any traffic or injury harm. Fines start at $500 with restitution for damaged signage and pavement.
