God forbid there should be an emergency on OCR – fire, injury or something.

    • Andrew, my blog automatically posts to FB and twitter (as you know) as well. FB is where people express their outrage and reposts. I just wish they would add their voice and call these things in to the non-emergency number for the MCSO, Coastal Division is 831-647-7911. Program into your phone. Include area code.

  • Re our 'Character of Place': Big Sur is more than a pretty concrete bridge. Any of the other hundreds of turnouts reveal more Character of Place. Even more is revealed by walking but a few minutes beyond the highway. Are the unwieldy masses better contained in a bus? Less traffic, litter, wear and tear?

  • Put a stop to advertising Big Sur by County of Monterey and hospitality business in Monterey.

  • I must say...I'm impressed at how close to each other they are without doing damage (I assume there's no damage)! That's skillful maneuvering! Kudos to the 2nd driver!!

  • Seeing all these recent posts about tourists and Hwy 1, I wonder if a two pronged approach would be best.

    Folks such as these bus drivers know the rules and are basically flaunting them 'cos there's no consequence, so prong 1 would better enforcement of existing laws/rules. Could a local (hotel or similar) tax fund additional sheriffs for extra enforcement?

    Prong 2 would address out of state/country visitors who are not familiar with the local rules (an etiquette) of the road. Maybe a leaflet that's in the rack cards at all the area hotels that give tips for driving 1, including such gems as pulling over for faster traffic etc., framed in such a way as to enhance the visitor experience, and make it available in multiple languages, based on the most common first languages of visitors.
