Official local record brief

Start with the right custodian and record

City of Santa Monica publishes roadway-safety plan, collision-analysis period, and priority locations; here it is connected with Interstate 405 (San Diego Freeway) near Santa Monica State Beach, and the visible limit controls what may be concluded.

Official dataRoadway-safety plan, collision-analysis period, and priority locations
Santa Monica Local Roadway Safety Plan

City of Santa Monica

The city describes the adopted roadway-safety plan, the source period used for its collision review, and the priority intersections and corridors selected for further safety work. On this page, the record helps separate Santa Monica public context from incident-specific proof and the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center (Westwood) chronology; reconcile the incident detail against the public source to check who controlled the evidence.

When to use it

Use the plan to verify the city analysis period and corridor methodology before requesting the incident report or a separate engineering, maintenance, signal, or video record; document the unresolved question against the confirming record to separate assumptions from documented facts.

Details used to locate the record

  • Plan section
  • analysis years
  • intersection or corridor name

Limit: The plan is a planning resource based on a defined historical period. It does not establish an incident, current street condition, notice, fault, injury, or damages; for this highway merge accidents page, compare the published scope with Interstate 405 (San Diego Freeway) and the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center (Westwood) chronology before applying it to the incident.

Official processPolice records access routes for traffic-collision reports
Santa Monica Police traffic-collision report access

City of Santa Monica Police Department

On the Interstate 405 (San Diego Freeway) approach near Santa Monica State Beach, record direction, lane, crossing, time, and lighting.
