San Mateo County officials have urged residents to be patient amid street and highway closures, detours and delays since Saturday as world leaders and others descend on the Bay Area for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference in San Francisco.

Approximately 30,000 conference attendees, including heads of state from the 21 member economies, dignitaries, delegates and members of the media, are expected for APEC Economic Lights Week from November 11-17.
