Traveling entirely through the Reserve, the road is maintained by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. The road is currently divided by use into two sections: a northern, asphalt macadam-covered public access route; and a concrete-paved southern limited-access use service road. The road's northern entry is by means of an elongated ell coming off the south-traveling lanes of North Torrey Pines Road. The ell is divided into two separate lanes by a 47 foot by 13 foot-landscaped island. The island itself divides the two lanes into entry [north of the island] and exit [south of the island] lanes. North of the entry is a large wooden sign indicating the entrance to Torrey Pines State Reserve. The sign and its surrounding landscaped area divides the north entry into Torrey Pines Park Road from the southern end of a parking strip running parallel to Torrey Pines State Beach some 20 feet below and to the west Historical maps indicate that the parking strip and the north entrance to Torrey Pines Park Road were
