An influx of visitors drawn by the HBO hit 'Big Little Lies' has created traffic on a popular highway along California's scenic Central Coast.

It’s the backdrop in the opening sequence of the HBO hit"Big Little Lies," and has become a coveted prize for those who want that Instagram-worthy photo. Now an influx of visitors, and their bad behavior, is angering locals who live in the area.

The bridge can be seen in different parts of pop culture. In 1969, it made its TV debut in the series “Then Came Bronson,” and it has been featured in the popular video game “Grand Theft Auto V.” During the July 4th weekend, a video on twitter showed bumper-to-bumper traffic waiting to cross the bridge.

“We have a problem with people relieving themselves along the highway,” said Russell. “People are walking on the bridge to take pictures…People do that stuff all the time to get that iconic shot.”

Very newsy. “Extra Extra, read all about it!”

Now I will go and look at something that does not belong to locals but to all Americans. F fascists

It sure is one of the most beautiful places, especially at sunset in the summer, when the ice plants are in full bloom.

i havent liked bridges since the 1980s

Lol I was pricing homes out there recently, all that I like were $15 mill and above. Guess I’ll stay right in Manhattan and vacation there 🙃

I've always wondered how many people was just going to drive around at night with god knows what traffic times. I don't think they would ever get out of a traffic jam.

This is the most mindblowing road in the world. The sad thing is that it is on the otherside of the western world.

They're full of shit on this framing. The highway just reopened after the landslide.

I've been on this bridge when I lived in California. My.... how the years change things. It was always a great place to take pictures. But not with extreme crowds.

Traffic. Highways. All seems in order. Carry on. 😑

One more reason why we can't have nice things.
