Obamajam: How to avoid traffic as President Obama visits LA for 'Tonight Show' (map)

Be prepared for more than the usual traffic headaches this afternoon — President Barack Obama will be in town again.

Obama is making a short visit to appear on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." He made a similar trip last fall to the Burbank studios where Leno's show is taped.

The president is scheduled to land at LAX at 3:25 p.m. and be in Burbank for the taping with Leno at 4:30 p.m. As is customary with presidential visits, there will be some street closures and congestion to accommodate the presidential motorcade, although Obama will likely be taken by helicopter from LAX to Burbank.

The Los Angeles Police Department issued an advisory urging the public to avoid the following areas to prevent travel delays:
