The California Highway Patrol will conduct a 24-hour enforcement beginning Tuesday in an effort to curb speeding across the state.
The operation, called a Maximum Enforcement Period, will be in effect from 6 a.m. Tuesday until 5:59 a.m. Wednesday. The campaign is meant to emphasize “that there is no safe time or place to drive at unsafe speeds,” according to the CHP.
Officers will monitor roadways, watching for drivers who exceed posted speed limits or travel at unsafe speeds for the conditions.
Speeding continues to be one of the top causes of serious and fatal crashes on California’s roadways, CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee said in a statement.
“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,” he added.
In 2025, CHP officers issued over 491,000 citations for speeding violations; 110,000 crashes resulted from unsafe speeds. The crashes led to more than 400 deaths and injured over 68,000 people, according to the agency.
In December, the CHP partnered with the Department of Motor Vehicles to launch a pilot program that accelerates punishment for drivers who exceed 100 mph on the road. The program, called FAST, automatically sends citations to the DMV’s Driver Safety Branch, which has the authority to suspend or revoke a license.
“Speeding often saves only seconds, but the consequences of a crash can last a lifetime … Choosing to drive at a safe speed not only protects the driver but also passengers, pedestrians and others sharing the road,” the agency added.
