To the editor: It’s a joke that speeders would get a $50 positive, or as much as simply $500 (“Speed camera shocker: 100,000 violators seen in nine days on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu,” Oct. 9). How about upping the ante? If caught as soon as, it’s a positive. Two instances, the speeder’s license could be taken away for a number of months not less than. We’re so afraid of offending somebody, however what about my proper to public security, and the rights of the various Angelenos and Malibu residents who wish to be secure?
And whereas officers are at it, take into account extra cameras for high-speed automobiles that trigger accidents, some even deadly. Wilshire Boulevard feels like a racetrack at night time, with automobiles revving up and zooming down the highway. Let’s shield our residents, not simply give offenders a weak slap on the wrist.

To the editor: I’ve lived in Malibu for 35 years. Right here is the fact: Pacific Coast Freeway is a freeway. It’s proper there within the title.
There completely is rushing at instances, however 100,000 violators? Possibly that’s as a result of the pace restrict has remained 25 mph for the reason that Palisades fireplace. That pace restrict is untenable besides, after all, when and the place restore work is being achieved.
Preserve the pace restrict indicators at 25 mph, however please solely police the individuals driving over 45 mph. It’s honest and secure to ticket individuals going that quick on the freeway. The PCH is mainly the one method out and in of our city.
