Caltrans and CHP Warn Drivers of Maximum Enforcement Around Construction Work Zones

Caltrans and the California Highway Patrol (CHP) have launched a work zone safety public campaign. Beginning July 28, Caltrans will activate its electronic highway message signs in active construction and maintenance work zones around the state to display the following warning: WORKERS AHEAD | CHP ON PATROL | MAX ENFORCEMENT. The CHP will increase the time their patrol officers have spent patrolling active work zones in their areas. Drivers are expected to receive a double fine for traffic violations in work zones.
