""While it's a small adjustment, 5 miles in either direction, we're hoping this is one of the ways to improve safety on this corridor.""
""If any driver needs to remember what the speed limit is on the first three-fourths of a mile approaching Highway 1, it's 60 miles in either direction.""
Caltrans is adjusting the speed limits on Highway 17 near the Highway 1 interchange to 60 mph in both directions. Previously, northbound traffic was 65 mph and southbound was 55 mph. This change aims to improve safety on a highway known for collisions due to its winding turns. The decision was based on a decade-long survey of traffic patterns and collision history. The California Highway Patrol has started enforcing the new speed limits, which are expected to reduce confusion for drivers.
