California's Senate Bill 1297, aimed at enhancing safety on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in Malibu, has passed the Legislature and is now awaiting Governor Gavin Newsom's approval. The bill, introduced following the tragic deaths of four Pepperdine University students in a speeding-related crash, authorizes the installation of five speed camera systems along a 21-mile stretch of PCH. These cameras will be strategically placed in high-collision areas to deter speeding and reduce traffic accidents. Senator Ben Allen and Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin emphasized the importance of this legislation in curbing reckless driving and protecting the community. The initiative builds on previous road safety improvements funded by Caltrans. Advocates hope the bill will significantly enhance safety for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike.
