CHP announces Fourth of July weekend enforcement period
FAIRFIELD — The California Highway Patrol is instituting a maximum enforcement period this Fourth of July weekend to keep the state’s motorists safe.
The maximum enforcement period will start at 6 p.m. Friday and continue through noon Monday.
“With many people taking to the roadway this holiday weekend, motorists can rest assured our officers will be on the lookout for those in need,” said CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow in a press release.
The CHP will also be focusing on removing impaired drivers from the road, discouraging speeders and encouraging motorists to buckle up. These are the three primary causes of death on the road.
During last year’s Independence Day MEP, 23 people were killed and CHP officers arrested 1,438 people for driving under the influence.
