Highway 1 Planning Update

Plans Call for Roadside Parking to be Restricted at Surfers Beach
On Wednesday, February 28, the San Mateo County Planning Commission will consider a recommendation to approve the Caltrans Multi-Asset Project for SR1. In this project Caltrans will resurface and re-stripe the existing 12-foot-wide travel lanes and add Class II Bikeway striping (typically, 6 feet wide) with a 2-foot-wide buffer in the existing 8-foot-wide shoulder along the SR 1 corridor in both directions from Wavecrest Road to South of Marine Boulevard. Per California Vehicle Code Section 21209 VC, motorists can only drive on a bike lane to enter or leave the road, prepare for a turn at the intersection, or to access parking. The Class 2 bike lanes will have bike lane symbol painted on the pavement throughout the project, but “No Parking, Bike Lane” signage is only proposed at the Coronado to Capistrano area per proposed plan. No treatment is planned along the outside of the northbound bike lane at Surfers Beach that would block access to the informal parking lot there.
