If you are planning to attend Monterey Car Week it is important to have a plan because it is not possible to go to every event. Things are spread out over a rather large area separated by traffic jams.
The experts who get paid to make such predictions say they expect more than 80,000 people from out of town to visit Monterey Car Week this year thus increasing the number of people in Monterey County significantly and making a large contribution to local tax collection.
Monterey County developed the interactive map at this link and it can be very useful, not perfect but useful.
