I lived in LA for a while (just south of BH) and walked thru BH on occasion.
Was never stopped by the police for that.
Was ticketed once for bicycling thru a stop sign in LA - a motorcycle cop
chased me down.

If you live in the city near an L line.
Many busses do not run 24*7.
Does the Ravenswood line (brown?) run 24*7 yet? Or does it still shut down at
night?
