Iconic Pacific Coast Highway stretch hit with sudden speed limit crackdown
- Caltrans reduced the speed limit on a 5.1-mile Big Sur stretch of Highway 1 from 55 mph to 45 mph to improve safety.
- The change targets a winding Monterey County section south of Coast Road to north of Garrapata Creek Bridge.
- Officials say the lower speed will give motorists more reaction time and reduce crash risk along the route.
- Caltrans said updated speed limit signs are already in place and enforcement is effective immediately.
- The move is part of broader efforts to reduce serious crashes and fatalities on California roads.
- The stretch is a popular corridor for tourists, cyclists, and sightseers.
