The City of Rancho Palos Verdes has extended a temporary prohibition of bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, and all other two-wheeled vehicles from an approximately 2-mile stretch of Palos Verdes Drive South due to land movement.
On December 17, 2024, the City Council extended by 90 days the temporary ban that was put in place in June 2024 along Palos Verdes Drive South from Wayfarers Chapel to Schooner Drive to prevent injuries due to the poor condition of the roadway. Although ground movement in the area has decreased since then, the land is still moving up to 4 inches per week in certain areas along the roadway and pavement conditions remain poor. The Council will revisit the prohibition and consider whether to lift or extend it in three months.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation as the City works to slow the accelerated movement and protect public safety. If you have questions, please contact the Public Works Department at 310-544-5252.
