The Beverly Hills Traffic and Parking Commission unanimously approved the placement of stop signs in every direction at the intersection of Whitworth and Oakhurst drives at its Jan. 6 meeting.
The intersection is used daily as a pedestrian route to and from campus for students and families of the Harkham Hillel Hebrew Academy, located about 500 feet north of the intersection at the corner of Olympic Boulevard and Doheny Drive. Families with children ranging in age from pre-nursery through middle school cross the intersection after dropping off their students and proceeding westbound on Whitworth Drive. The approval was made after the city conducted a traffic study of the intersection in response to an influx of resident requests in spring 2025.
