I was there in July of 96, and it was open to traffic (one way, down only).
But, alas, it was always crowded with cars, so it didn't provide much of a
workout for my Chrysler Sebring convertible from Avis -- 10 mph, lock to
lock, back and forth. However, I made up for that by flogging that Sebring
up and down the PCH and through the mountains, from wine country to Carmel!
Thank heaven for rental convertibles with unlimited mileage! ;-)
