The entire highway is coated with "beach patrol" cops who have nothing to do on the beaches, so they sit on their radar guns. Enforcement is also heavy for drunks, as several children have been killed. Residents are urged by the city to "Report Drunk Drivers Call 911" and the sheriff is all over the place. The city has even paid to bring in extra CHP officers! There are a whole bunch of pesky "you are going XX mph" signs. People insist on driving at the speed limit the whole way, causing others who are better judges of their own capabilities to back up. AVOID SPEEDING ON PCH, the whole thing is a trap!
