[File]<\/figcaption><\/figure>California Highway Patrol officers will be ramping up patrols on highways and roads in Los Angeles County starting Friday, to catch drunk and drug-impaired drivers as part of the agency’s annual Fourth of July crackdown.<\/p>\n

The agency’s “maximum enforcement period” will begin at 6 p.m. Friday, July 1, and conclude at 11:59 p.m. Monday, July 4, during which all available officers will hit the streets for targeted patrols.<\/p>\n

“Give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination,” CHP Commissioner Amanda Ray<\/strong> said. “Speeding not only endangers your life, but the lives of everyone on the roadway. Fill the holiday weekend with celebration and fun activities, not reckless choices that lead to tragedy.”<\/p>\n

During last year’s Independence Day MEP, officers arrested 997 motorists on suspicion of DUI statewide, compared to 738 arrests during the 2020 campaign, according to the CHP.\u00a0Forty-three people were killed in crashes within the CHP’s jurisdiction during the 2021 Fourth of July weekend, and the agency noted that one-third of those victims were not wearing any type of safety restraint.<\/p>\n

Ray emphasized that the objective is not only to send a zero tolerance message to impaired drivers, but to all traffic violators.<\/p>\n

“Speed is the number one factor in roadway crashes in California, causing one-third of traffic-related deaths,” Ray said, adding that 10,000 citations were issued during 2021’s Fourth of July enforcement campaign.<\/p>\n

Numerous other Southland law enforcement agencies will also be involved in the holiday traffic safety effort.<\/p>\n
