Parking is now prohibited at all times on both sides of Highway 1 around Bixby Bridge, extending about 900 feet north and 700 feet south of the bridge.
Pacific Grove Police, sharing the Car Week traffic reminder, says the signs and stanchions are in place and warns drivers not to stop in travel lanes or park illegally.
Monterey County's project record says the one-year restriction is intended to reduce congestion and keep emergency vehicles moving.
This rule is separate from the current Timber Fire closure farther south; check Caltrans before any Big Sur trip.
