Bill would let Long Beach add two speed cameras on deadly stretch of Pacific Coast Highway, Gov. Gavin Newsom weighs whether to sign

A California measure would authorize Long Beach to install additional speed enforcement cameras along a high-crash section of the Pacific Coast Highway, with Gov. Gavin Newsom now considering whether to approve the proposal.

A California bill would authorize Long Beach to place two speed enforcement cameras along a deadly stretch of the Pacific Coast Highway, and Gov. Gavin Newsom is now considering whether to sign the measure, according to a report published Tuesday by the New York Post.

The proposal is framed around speed-related crashes on the Pacific Coast Highway and would, if enacted, expand the city’s ability to use automated enforcement technology in the specified location, the report said.

Under the approach described in the report, the cameras would be installed by Long Beach rather than by the state, making the decision a matter of state approval that would shift additional enforcement authority to a local agency for a limited corridor.

Newsom’s decision would determine whether the measure takes effect and whether Long Beach can proceed with installation and operation of the cameras contemplated by the bill, the report said.

The report described the stretch in question as having been deadly, and the measure’s stated rationale is connected to reducing dangerous driving behavior through speed enforcement. The article did not provide additional technical details about timing, deployment specifics, or how citations would be handled.

If the governor signs the bill, the next step would be implementation by the city, including any required administrative or operational actions tied to camera deployment and enforcement. If he vetoes or otherwise does not approve it, Long Beach would remain without the additional authorization described in the proposal.

The measure also sits at the intersection of public safety enforcement and questions about how automated systems are used for traffic accountability, an issue that typically includes debate over due process protections for drivers and the scope of local versus state authority. The New York Post report did not cite a specific legislative chapter or enforcement framework beyond the bill’s authorization concept.

Why It Matters

  • Newsom’s decision would determine whether Long Beach gains additional authority to use speed enforcement cameras on a specific state highway corridor.
  • If enacted, local implementation would likely add a new automated enforcement mechanism affecting drivers in the targeted area.
  • The measure highlights broader policy questions about automated traffic enforcement, including how enforcement powers are allocated between state law and local execution.
  • Because the reporting does not include procedural details, the practical impact on drivers would depend on the bill’s finalized language and any related administrative requirements.
