HOLLYWOOD, CA — In an effort to curb unsafe driving on Mulholland Drive, city crews will install a dozen speed bumps on the curvy mountain road in the coming months, Los Angeles officials said.

"Safety concerns from residents due to racing, speeding and unsafe driving on Mulholland Drive can be dealt with most effectively through physical speed mitigation," according to the LA Department of Transportation.

Four speed humps were planned for installation on Nov. 9 at the Dona Pegita Turns.
