lIVE VIDEO OF TRAFFIC CONDITIONS ON PCH NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE
The public can now view real-time video of traffic conditions on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu on the Caltrans website thanks to a series of CCTV cameras that are now online as part of the City's PCH Signal Synchronization Project.
The cameras give traffic operators live visibility into conditions on PCH, helping them quickly identify crashes, stalled vehicles, congestion, or other hazards and coordinate faster emergency response.
The live video also supports active traffic management. By visually confirming traffic flow, operators can fine-tune signal timing in real time to reduce stop-and-go conditions, manage speeds, and improve overall movement along the corridor. This added layer of monitoring plays an important role in improving safety for motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and first responders.
The PCH Signal Synchronization Project, the most significant project to improve traffic safety and mobility on PCH to date by the City of Malibu. Completed in December 2024, the $19.1 million project connected 12 traffic signals between Topanga Canyon Boulevard and John Tyler Drive into a coordinated “Smart Corridor.” The system allows Caltrans’ Traffic Management Center to make real-time signal adjustments to improve traffic flow and reduce speeds.
This project is a key component of Malibu’s broader, multi-layered effort to improve safety on one of the state's busiest iconic highways through close coordination with Caltrans, law enforcement and other regional partners. The project was named the 2025 Project of the Year in Transportation by the American Public Works Association Ventura County Chapter.
