UPDATE at 11:20 a.m., Thursday, March 12, 2015: We've added the Burbank Police Department's presidential traffic warnings for today at the bottom.

The president's in town this week, and you know what that means.

Obamajam!

The prez will be here to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live tonight and to attend a reported $33,400-per-couple fundraiser hosted Friday by ICM Partners co-founder Chris Silbermann and his wife, Julia Franz.

To be fair, Obamajam has become somewhat of a misnomer. The real, nightmare-inducing traffic inspired by a visit to Los Angeles by President Obama really happened just once.

At the time we duly reported that “Westsiders haven't been this inconvenienced since Whole Foods ran out of almond scones.”

Yep.

After Angelenos whined and cried like a rich Republican who just got his tax bill, the Secret Service, the Los Angeles Police Department and other law enforcement agencies got the hint and changed some of the POTUS' traffic-clogging ways.

Many “hard” street closures became “rolling” closures that open up boulevards (our lifeblood!) after the motorcade has passed.

Still, you would like to know what streets to avoid and when to avoid them, wouldn't you? Here's the ultimate Obamajam cheat sheet, courtesy of the LAPD:
