Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA) is one of the largest urban parks in the world, and is one of the most popular sites within the national park system. This park encompasses approximately 75,400 acres of land and water and contains more than 28 miles of coastline within its boundaries. Due to a high number of visitors, GGNRA wanted to improve traveler safety and decision-making for motorists visiting Stinson Beach and Muir Woods, both park sites in southwest Marin County. To accomplish this, GGNRA and the California Department of Transportation (CALTRANS) agreed to place portable changeable message signs (PCMS) north and south, one in each direction, of the US Route 101 and State Route 1 interchange; therefore, motorists traveling both northbound and southbound on US Rote 101 would have the benefit of these signs. GGNRA and CALTRANS intend for these signs to broadcast messages about real-time parking and congestion information to motorists during the parks' congested periods from April through September.
