The legislation was introduced following the deaths of four Pepperdine University students who were walking on PCH when they were stuck and killed in a horrific high-speed crash.
Legislation to install speed cameras on a stretch of Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom Friday as the one-year anniversary nears for a crash that killed four college students on the stretch of seaside road.
Under Senate Bill 1297, speed cameras will be authorized at five locations on PCH. The bill calls for the installation of feedback signs and automated speed cameras on the 21-mile stretch of curving coastal road.
The law goes into effect in January 2025.
The bill was authored by Sen. Ben Allen, D-Santa Monica, and co-authored by Assemblywoman Jacqui Irwin, D-Thousand Oaks. Assemblywoman Laura Friedman, D-Glendale, and Sen. Henry Stern, D-Los Angeles, also sponsored the measure.
