It is operated like a freeway where motorized vehicle speeds are higher, not a residential surface street where speeds are lower and crosswalks are safer. A one-day enforcement campaign by local city police will raise driver awareness in this location but do nothing to improve the crosswalk safety record for Pacific Coast Highway. It should be obvious that crosswalks and freeways are incompatible, after all when is the last time you saw a safe crosswalk on a freeway?
