Lincoln Boulevard begins by branching northwest from
Sepulveda Boulevard at the northern side of
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). It then passes through the
Los Angeles districts of
Westchester,
Playa Vista, and
Venice before entering
Santa Monica. After crossing
Wilshire Boulevard, it then changes from a four-lane thoroughfare to a residential street before terminating at
San Vicente Boulevard. Major landmarks include
Loyola Marymount University,
Otis College of Art and Design, and the
Ballona Wetlands. Lincoln is known for high levels of auto traffic during daylight and rush hours. This congestion creates other high levels of traffic on alternate parallel residential streets, such as Walgrove Avenue in Venice.
