The city of Malibu is weeks away from rolling out a network of high-tech speed cameras, almost three years after city officials declared a local state of emergency on Pacific Coast Highway after years of reckless driving.
The system will be activated sometime at the end of September, and officials say drivers going at least 11 mph over the limit will be ticketed.
Drivers will get warnings for 60 days. Fines begin in late November.
City officials hope the program will prevent deadly accidents as more than 60 people have died since 2010.
The calls for increased safety measures intensified after four Pepperdine sorority sisters were struck and killed along PCH in October 2023.
Long Beach already has all of its speed cameras up, and they will start giving out warnings in October. Real speeding tickets will be given out two months after that.
Los Angeles also planned to be on a similar timeline to both Malibu and Long Beach to add speed cameras, but the city is still trying to figure out its rollout.
