More than 22K speeding tickets, 1300 DUI arrests during Fourth of July weekend: CHP

(KRON) — “Slow down.” The California Highway Patrol said the results are in following a busy holiday enforcement period this past Fourth of July weekend.

In a social media post, CHP backed up its recent enforcement period — “aimed at stopping dangerous behaviors and keeping California roads safe” — and confirmed the statewide crackdown brought in the following numbers:

  • 46,582 enforcement actions
  • 34,548 total citations issued
  • 21,328 speeding citations
  • 1,311 driving under the influence arrests

CHP said its officers were out in full force throughout the state and reminded drivers to stay focused, buckle up and remain sober behind the wheel.

“Every citation and arrest represent a dangerous behavior that could have resulted in a tragedy,” added CHP.
