Doheny Drive

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Doheny Drive is a major north/south thoroughfare for Beverly Hills and West Hollywood. It starts a few blocks south of Pico Boulevard and travels north past Sunset Boulevard. Doheny encounters few traffic lights, making it a relatively quick trip north/south. From Santa Monica Boulevard to Sunset Boulevard are condominiums, adjacent to the Sunset Strip. Doheny Drive forms the western end of the Strip, which ends at Crescent Heights Boulevard to the east.

It is named for Edward L. Doheny, a Los Angeles oil tycoon.
