I’d like to address a serious safety concern regarding Angeles Crest Highway. This road is extremely dangerous due to its sharp turns, narrow lanes, and proximity to sheer mountain edges. Drivers are often faced with oncoming traffic and either the edge of the mountain or the rocky mountainside. It is, without a doubt, the most terrifying road I’ve ever traveled.

Adding to the danger, there are no streetlights or cellphone reception. While it may appear as a shorter route compared to congested freeways, it is not safe and should include a clear warning when suggested as a route on Waze.

I personally know of multiple instances where drivers have gone over the edge, been stranded for days, or required rescue by helicopter. For those unfamiliar with the area who are simply following GPS directions, it can be an extremely traumatic experience—some people have even broken down in tears while driving this road.

Please consider implementing a prominent warning about the dangers of this route and provide an option to avoid it altogether. This could prevent accidents, reduce unnecessary distress, and ultimately save lives.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
