Bicycles and Motorcycles Prohibited on 2-Mile Stretch of Palos Verdes Drive South due to Land Movement 

The City of Rancho Palos Verdes has temporarily prohibited 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 June 18, the City Council implemented the temporary ban along Palos Verdes Drive South from Wayfarers Chapel to Schooner Drive to prevent injuries due to the poor condition of the roadway, where the land is moving at a rate of 7 to 12 inches per week. The Council will revisit the prohibition and consider whether to lift or extend it in six 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.
