Costa Mesa is a coastal Orange County city of about 110,000 residents next to Newport Beach and John Wayne Airport. It is home to South Coast Plaza, one of the highest-grossing shopping centers in the country, the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, the OC Fair & Event Center, Orange Coast College and Vanguard University, so shoppers, commuters and event crowds keep traffic heavy all year.

High-traffic areas include I-405 near South Coast Plaza and Bristol Street, the I-405 and SR-55 interchange, Harbor Boulevard's retail corridor, and Newport Boulevard toward the beach and the OC Fair & Event Center.
