THERE  ARE  3  EVENTS   SCHEDULED  TO  TAKE  PLACE  THIS  WEEKEND,   AND  THEY  ARE  EACH  EXPECTED  TO  IMPACT  TRAFFIC  IN  THE  GREATER  MONTEREY  BAY  AREA….

Today through Sunday, organizers are projecting roughly 140,000 spectators will attend three days of the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca.

The Gilroy Garlic Festival, which runs today through Sunday, has been known to draw six-figure crowds and back up traffic on 101 in both directions.

People  headed  to  Sunday’s  Moss Landing Antique Street Faire (traveling on Highway 1 along the coast) also draws thousands and is expected to compound traffic headed to the raceway.  The local C.H.P. office is getting help from other area officers (including Santa Cruz) to patrol Santa Cruz, Monterey, and San Benito  counties.

The traffic this weekend is expected to be especially heavy in the morning (and later afternoon) hours,  in areas near Laguna Seca, such as Highway 68, Canyon Del Rey and General Jim Moore boulevards.
