MENDOCINO Co., 9/1/22 — The California Highway Patrol (CHP) often increases enforcement on major roadways during holiday weekends, and this Labor Day is no different: the agency will be holding a “maximum enforcement period” starting on Friday, September 2 at 6 p.m. and lasting through 11:59 p.m. on Monday, September 5. This means that an increased number of officers will be on the road to ensure safety rules are being enforced, prioritizing identifying drivers that may be driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Due to increased traffic on the roads, drivers should take extra caution to make sure everyone can get where they are going. It’s also going to be unusually hot out there, so we recommend you stay hydrated, watch out for kids, the elderly, and pets, and don’t leave anyone in the car!
