The Pacific Coast Highway, also known as Highway 1, has a notorious reputation for reckless driving. The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department states that speeding is the primary cause of accidents on this highway. Given that Pepperdine University is situated close to the coastal highway, pedestrians frequently cross it to access businesses and the beach on the other side. These hazardous conditions have prompted the mayor to request increased patrols by the California Highway Patrol. Additional details can be found in the Los Angeles Times. Safety measures are urgently needed to address this ongoing issue. (Read more Pacific Coast Highway stories.)
