CHP Holiday Maximum Enforcement Period Begins Tonight at 6pm

The California Highway Patrol’s holiday ‘Maximum Enforcement Period’ begins tonight at 6pm and continues through to 11:59pm on Sunday evening.

CHP will be deploying all available officers to provide assistance to motorists but also to provide additional enforcement for driving violations, such as speeding and driving under the influence.

The Highway Patrol said that, during the same period last year, five people were killed in traffic collisions, including two pedestrians, one motorcyclist, and two vehicle occupants who were not wearing their seatbelts. The agency made 221 arrests for driving under the influence during that same time period.
