Caltrans Implements Another 30 MPH Zone To Ignore
Written by 991KBU on September 20, 2018
Caltrans has posted a 30 mile per hour speed limit on a second section of Pacific Coast Highway … as it continues to change its plans for the construction zone along the beach in the middle of Malibu.
The existing 50 mile per hour speed limit … too fast … while lanes are narrowed for the median construction project.
As every driver in Malibu knows… this matches the 30 mile per hour zone in the Escondido Beach landslide project …. just west of the median project.
Ans as every drier in Malibu knows … that 30 mile an hour speed limit is completely ignored.
Drivers who slow for the construction zone say they are in fear of begin rear ended …as vehicles come roaring up from behind at the customary 55 miles an hour or faster … and swerve around.
Sheriff’s deputies have -not- been evident the 30 mile per hour zone … the summer enforcement team was in enforcing speed limits at its two regular speed zone enforcement areas … at the Civic Center and at the east end of town.
Caltrans will have the median torn up between Latigo Beach and Puerco Canyon until about Christmastime … as a contractor tears out a center median that was built in 1947 and that has become ineffective as the pavement level goes up every 10 years.
The other construction zone will be with us for another 12 months … under the original construction schedule … as the a massive new retaining wall in the middle of an active landslide.
