SMA ENTERS TCA WITHOUT CLRNC.

Narrative

I WAS SBOUND FROM FRESNO AT CRUISE ALT OF 9500 FT; AND WAS USING FLT FOLLOWING FROM FRESNO; BAKERSFIELD; LOS ANGELES; AND BURBANK APCHS. I INTENDED TO LAND AT LONG BEACH. THERE WAS A FAIRLY HVY CLOUD COVER; TOPS 3500 FT OVER THE AREA. I WANTED TO GO ACROSS LAX VIA THE SPECIAL FLT RULES AREA AND MISREAD MY TCA CHART AS SHOWING VNY 140 DEG RADIAL. I ASKED ZLA OR APCH TO CONFIRM SQUAWK XXXX AND AIR-TO-AIR FREQ; WHICH THEY DID. I WAS AT ABOUT 3500 FT AND SOMEWHERE E OF LAX; ARTCC ASKED ME TO TURN R 180 DEGS AND GET OUT OF THE TCA. I COMPLIED IMMEDIATELY. IT WAS CLR THAT I HAD USED THE HOLLYWOOD PARK RTE WITHOUT THE REQUISITE CLRNC WHEN I THOUGHT I WAS GOING OVER LAX SBOUND AT 3500 FT. A LOOK (AGAIN!) AT THE TCA CHART SHOWS THE ARROWS OF VNY 140 AND THE SHORELINE RTE IN LARGE LETTERS AND ARROWS BUT NOT THE ARPT RTE. SINCE IT WAS OVCST I COULD NOT SEE THE ARPT TO CONFIRM THAT I WAS OVER IT. CTR TOLD ME BY PHONE LATER THAT THEY HAD TO DIVERT TFC; BUT I ONLY SAW 1 ACFT THE ENTIRE TIME (A COMMUTER TWIN) AND IT WAS BELOW THE CLOUD DECK; WHILE I WAS ON TOP. SUGGEST THAT THE TCA CHART SHOW THAT THE SPECIAL FLT RULES AREA OVER LAX BE CLARIFIED AS A DIFFERENT RADIAL THAN THE HOLLYWOOD PARK RTE; OR 'EXPECT ALTS OF 7500 FT (OR WHATEVER) ON VNY 140 DEG RADIAL. I HAD ALSO MISTAKEN THE 91 FREEWAY (N 4 MI FROM LONG BEACH) AS THE SAN DIEGO FREEWAY (JUST SLIGHTLY S OF LONG BEACH); DUE TO CLOUDS AND SOME DISORIENTATION AND BEGAN MY DSCNT INTO LONG BEACH ON THAT FREEWAY; HDG E. THAT PROBABLY ALSO PUT ME INTO THE TCA; BUT CTR DID NOT CORRECT ME ON THAT HDG.
