The California Highway Patrol is encouraging everyone to buckle up as Memorial Day weekend approaches and Californians gear up for summer festivities.  CHP will implement a statewide maximum enforcement period starting Friday, May 24th at 6:01 p.m. to address the expected surge in holiday travelers on California roads.  The enforcement period will continue through 11:59 p.m. Monday, May 27th.  Last year, CHP recorded more than a thousand DUI arrests and 46 traffic deaths during the 78-hour Memorial Day maximum enforcement period.
