Malibu's Blood Alley on PCH

Get out of the way or get mowed down! You'd think there would be some sort of rational solution. Nope! Just ignore signs and carry on!

Let's also improve PCH south of Topanga. I commute on PCH every day. I am amazed that the cross-walk near the mobile home park north of Temescal doesn't have a traffic light. How screwed up is it to entice pedestrians to cross PCH with nothing more than a blinking light?

Santa Monica has two traffic-light controlled crosswalks on Ocean Ave. between the Pier and Pico, and yet we make the folks who live in that mobile home park run the gauntlet just to cross to the beach? They don't even have a pedestrian path to walk south to the crosswalk at Temescal. That's screwed.

my best friend's mom makes $77 an hour on the computer. She has been out of job for 9 months but last month her check was $7487 just working on the computer for a few hours. Read about it here CashSharp.com

Changes that limit or reduce beach access can cause all kinds of problems, including people ignoring parking and other restrictions, and unauthorized parking on private property.

Limits on parking and beach access may lead to violent confrontations by frustrated people who feel they do not have fair and reasonable beach access. Some people may question whether efforts to reduce available parking along PCH are really intended to keep "outsiders" out of the posh Malibu community.

PCH is an accident waiting to happen. It can be very dangerous to drive, day or night. There are many visual distractions that can take your attention off the vehicles in front of and around you, and traffic can speed up and then suddenly slow down, resulting in rear-end and other types of collisions. Some drivers may be tempted to take the curves a bit fast for their vehicle's performance, their skill level, and the road conditions. Pedestrians running across the highway and left-turn drivers can misjudge the speed of oncoming traffic.

However, lowering the speed limit too low may cause drivers to ignore the speed limit altogether.

it looks like a horseradish and two oranges

Come to the SFV if you want to see real car related carnage. People die all the time in car related deaths within blocks of my house. It scares the crap out of me.

Great article - public safety is a major problem here in Malibu, and we need all the pressure on government entities that we can get. @CarltonGrub - sir you are mistaken. Cal Trans owns PCH but the MTA is responsible for the bus benches not Malibu. The ASPCH has been working with MTA to figure out a way to protect bus riders. Also, the Coastal Commission is really no friend of Malibu, in my opinion. It always puts "visitor serving" above all else. That stretch of highway with parking on the land side contributes to all sorts of death defying acts by visitors running across to Zuma Beach. It is insane to allow parking there.

For the record, bus stops are the responsibility of the cities where they're located, not Metro.
