When conditions are determined to be Red Flag conditions (wind speeds 25 mph or more and humidity 15% or less), why isn the entire city under a Red Flag warning?
The LAFD and the Department of Transportation have determined there is the potential to create a choke point in only the specific areas identified by Red Flag signs. These areas involve narrow enough roads, and tight enough turns, that the delivery of emergency services could be impossible when vehicles are parked on these roads. In other areas of the city, this is not the case.
