Memorial Day weekend will be a busy one on California's highways as people get away for the weekend or even summer break.

The California Highway Patrol will launch a Holiday Enforcement Period (HEP) beginning at 6:00 p.m. Friday and continuing through midnight Monday. CHP officers will conduct targeted enforcement to identify reckless drivers and emphasis proper seat belt use for drivers and passengers. The CHP's HEP coincides with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations "Click it or Ticket" campaign.
