No doubt he proposed in the diamond...

No doubt he proposed in the diamond lane: We’re a sucker for a true Southern California-type love story. Several months ago, you may recall, a sheriff’s deputy and a California Highway Patrol officer were married after meeting at the scene of an accident in La Canada Flintridge.

Now we hear that David (Dr. Roadmap) Rizzo, author of “Freeway Alternates,” just got hitched. But let him tell you about it in this announcement to The Times, which was faxed, rather than engraved.

“I will be gone the first week of May for my honeymoon,” it said in part. “I am marrying the commuter columnist for the Riverside Press-Enterprise. We met when she reviewed my book two years ago.”

The bride is Holly Ocasio Remy, whose column on the groom’s book was included in Rizzo’s note to this newspaper.

We suspect the couple chose May for its scenic delights. And, too, Dr. Roadmap no doubt felt he could take a break now that the Santa Monica Freeway had reopened and motorists will go back to ignoring every alternate route on the Westside.

Dr. and Mrs. Roadmap had already left on their honeymoon when we learned of their union, so we don’t know where they’re vacationing.

But they’ll probably make a stop at Chevron Island.

Don’t forget your galoshes: You could be excused for interpreting the sign over one liquor store in Long Beach as a warning to watch your step inside (see photo). Actually it dates back to the days when Long Beach was a major naval base--and it was still a good idea to watch your step inside.

Official L.A. city cover-up? Mike Stensvold of Westlake Village protested when he received a $55 parking ticket for docking near a partially covered sign (see photo) in West L.A. Stensvold pointed out that the 4 to 7 p.m. restriction had been obscured on several signs on Crescent Heights Boulevard. But the city ruled that “an on-site investigation . . . concluded that the signs were sufficiently clear and visible, and therefore, the citation must be considered valid.”

As for the white covering, Stensvold was told that if it didn’t bear “the words, ‘Los Angeles City,’ ” it’s “not official city covering.”

If the city wasn’t responsible, who was? “Anytime we hear about something like this near UCLA or USC we suspect college kids,” said one official.

Stensvold’s ticket came after Mayor Richard Riordan’s recent announcement that parking enforcement would be stepped up on the Westside to generate additional revenue--a coincidence, we’re sure.

Tough undress code: Stanley Levinson of Thousand Oaks and some other readers noticed that a strip joint called the 101 Cafe advertises “exotic female nude dancers” but adds “dress code strictly enforced.”

Sara Meric sent along the catalogue for the recent Whole Life Expo, whose Virtual Reality Workshop had scheduled “a cyber sex demonstration for all attendees over 18.” We don’t dare make a joke about computer joysticks.
