Map of the security zone boundary on Market Street to 2nd Street to Harrison to 5th Street and back up to Market Street. The security zone is bounded by Market, 2nd, Harrison and 5th streets. These listed streets which form the boundary of the security zone will remain open to the public.

Map of the main security zone around the APEC conference at Moscone Center, with vehicle detours. Security zones have been set and are managed by the United States Secret Service. Only conference attendees and those who live or work inside this zone will be allowed to enter following security screening procedures.

San Francisco is proud to host the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference in November, one of the largest gatherings of global leaders in San Francsico. This is an exciting opportunity for San Francisco to shine on the world stage. Most APEC activities will take place in the South of Market and Nob Hill neighborhoods. Due to the scale of the gathering, APEC may have some impacts on travel in other areas of San Francisco as well. The bulk of the travel and transit impacts will take place from Nov. 14-19.

More than 20,000 people are expected to attend this historic conference, including heads of state and dignitaries from over 20 member economies in Asia, the Pacific, North America and South America. Visit the APEC website (APEC2023SF.org) for further information about the conference.

For security, areas around events and activities will be closed to vehicles and pedestrians except for event attendees or people who live or work within the security boundaries.

Street Impacts

Streets and freeway ramps in SoMa will be closed from Tuesday, Nov. 14 - Sunday, Nov. 19. These closures will result in significant traffic impacts.

Visitors and residents — whether driving or taking Muni or SF Paratransit — should expect congestion downtown, traffic delays, transit reroutes and potential crowding on Muni during the APEC conference and any additional conference-related events or activities. Additional events and activities may arise with little notice and may impact Muni and SF Paratransit routes, as well as traffic and pedestrian access.

Additional APEC-related events will take place in multiple locations. Some events require a temporary security zone that will restrict traffic and may require Muni reroutes. We will make information available as events are announced.

Please note that predictions and third-party navigation apps may not display information properly during this period. We advise Muni customers and anyone traveling through the city to allow ample extra time for travel and be prepared for possible delays.

We understand that these changes will present some challenges and we appreciate your support and patience as San Francisco hosts one of the world’s premier global leadership events.
