Crazy is This:

• Ughhh!

  • And I am told by those locals who use OCR almost daily, that this is an every day occurrence, from about 10 am on.

• People trying to park to photograph Bixby Bridge.

• Worse than crazy: rude, disgusting, dangerous, entitled,

• Did anyone get a permit for this Special Event, and where are the parking attendants as these people are parking in the middle of a effing public road?

• I can see the the "no parking" sign at the entrance. Where is law enforcement and the tow trucks?

• You are not seeing the approach as one is driving from the north. Traffic is slow and stopped as people exit their car doors into the highway because the pullout on the west is jammed with cars and photo takers. Watched as one man went down the slope into the canyon off Coast Road. I gave him the benefit of the doubt that maybe he was retrieving something that had blown away. Don’t get me started about the traffic situation at Soberanes.

  • Actually, I WAS coming from the north, but I was driving, so lucky to get this photo. But driving TO the north would have been interesting.

• Of course you were. I should have clarified that your photo couldn’t include the foot and car traffic circus that starts as you round the corner before even reaching the pullout on the west. Wasn’t that the location for a restaurant, the Rainbow Inn, after the highway was built?

• Good money to be made with one traffic warden:)

• They could put a parking lot in that big field to the south west, north of Hurricane Point.
  And charge admission.

• You live in a paradise that is a tourist attraction :) . So there are tourists. Who are also the folks who paid to build the road and bridge, and pay to maintain and restore the highway.

  • Not if they are from out of state. Some gas money goes that way, but most of it comes from in state. And even living among idiotic tourists, there are people that have to go through that craziness to get to and from their homes — never mind emergency vehicles for fires or cliff rescues. Nothing excuses this kind of behavior. Nothing. This is NOT a theme park. And should not be treated like it is.
