SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (KEYT) - The California Highway Patrol (CHP) will conduct a special 24-hour maximum enforcement period this week in an effort to help reduce speeding.
Beginning at 6 a.m. on Tuesday morning through 5:59 a.m. on April 29, CHP said its officers will monitor roadways and take enforcement action against drivers who exceed posted speed limits or travel at unsafe speeds for the conditions.
"Speeding continues to be one of the leading causes of serious and fatal crashes on California’s roadways," said CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee. "When drivers choose to exceed safe speeds, they reduce their ability to react and increase the risk for everyone on the road. Slowing down is one of the simplest steps that drivers can take to protect themselves and others."
According to a CHP release, officers issued over 491,000 citations for speed-related violations last year.
In addition, the department reported over 110,000 crashes resulted from unsafe speeds, which led to more than 400 deaths and injured over 68,000 people.
