New Motorcycle Restrictions in Rancho Palos Verdes—Here’s What Riders Should Know
If you ride in Southern California, listen up: the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council has temporarily banned bicycles, motorcycles, and other two-wheeled vehicles on Palos Verdes Drive South due to safety concerns.
This route is popular for its coastal views, but it's also known for tight turns and blind spots. Increased accidents have triggered a temporary ban—one that could expand to other high-risk roads if incidents continue to rise.
If you're a motorcyclist who rides for fun, for your commute, or for weekend getaways, this kind of local regulation should be a wake-up call. Roads change. Routes close. And risk is always present.
Why Motorcycle Insurance Isn’t Optional—Even for Casual Riders
Whether you ride daily or once a month, you're exposed to more danger than someone in a car:
- Less visibility to drivers
- Higher likelihood of serious injury
- No physical protection in collisions
- Road closures and detours that push riders into unfamiliar areas
Motorcycle insurance isn’t just about meeting legal minimums—it’s about protecting your health, your ride, and your financial future if something goes wrong.
Coverage Options That Actually Make Sense
We offer coverage plans that go beyond basic liability to match how and where you ride:
- Vintage Package – For riders who collect or restore classic bikes and want to protect their value
- Custom Package – Covers aftermarket parts, modifications, and upgrades you've added
- Low Speed Package – Ideal for scooters, mopeds, or bikes used in gated communities or short-distance zones
- Street Legal ATV Package – Coverage for ATVs that meet California’s street-legal requirements
Don’t assume your auto insurance covers these—it doesn’t. Motorcycle and ATV coverage is separate and specific.
