From CHP:
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) received a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) to address motorcycle safety. The grant’s primary focus is on reducing motorcyclist fatalities and injuries within CHP jurisdictions throughout the four counties with the highest statistics. The targeted counties are Los Angeles, San Diego, Orange, and San Bernardino.
On Sept. 26, the Altadena Area office of the CHP will conduct a special enforcement campaign on State Route 2 – Angeles Crest Highway. “We are experiencing a slight increase in the number of traffic collisions on the Angeles Forest roadways and the purpose of this enforcement is to combat the causes of those collisions,” said Captain Bill Dance, Altadena Area Commander. “We would like to remind all motorists to adhere to the speed limit and solid double yellow lines. Too often we respond to collisions involving motorists who have lost control of their vehicle due to unsafe speed or who collide into an oncoming vehicle as they drift over the double yellow lines.”
Additionally, two CHP officers will be manning a safety booth at Newcomb’s Ranch to provide information to all motorists and answer questions.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
