Motorists will be directed to make only right-hand turns onto Big Bear Boulevard (State Route-18) from Georgia Street to Temple, they will be further aided by Big Bear Sheriff Deputies and CHP Officers controlling traffic at all major intersections in the city of Big Bear Lake.

Residents and visitors of Big Bear City are advised to park on the south-side of the Big Bear Boulevard, while residents of the North Shore area are advised to park on the north-side of the Big Bear Boulevard. Following the Fireworks display on the Lake, Marina Resort exits will be open with the right turn only option.
