CHP Implementing Maximum Enforcement Period for Memorial Day Weekend

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.
