Help again, please! Eastern Malibu needs help. Every Friday, Saturday and Sunday the westbound traffic backs up 3 to 6 miles westbound from Big Rock to Cross Creek Road. It takes people 30 to 45 minutes to get to Cross Creek depending on where they start. I believe this is because of a very short green light westbound at Cross Creek. I timed it last Sunday and the green westbound lasted 80 seconds, not nearly long enough to accommodate the flow of traffic.
Meanwhile, six cars and a few pedestrians crossed PCH while thousands of motorists waited. Once Cross Creek is passed, the traffic flow speeds up to 40-50 MPH. There may be other lights contributing to this paralysis. Without studying this to death, the City and Caltrans should make a quick fix and increase the green light time at Cross Creek, the Pier and McDonald’s to at least three minutes. Why not and why delay?
