NORTH COAST, Calif. – Whether you drive on a scenic highway or a congested freeway, motorcycles are all around.
As such, motorcycle-involved crashes in California continue to be a major concern for the California Highway Patrol.
From January 2017 through May 2019, provisional statistical data revealed there were three fatal traffic collisions involving motorcycles in the CHP Ukiah Area jurisdiction.
In an effort to reduce the number of motorcycle incidents or collisions resulting from unsafe speed, following too closely, unsafe lane changes, improper turning and other primary collision factor violations by motorcyclists and other drivers, the CHP Ukiah Area will deploy additional officers in Mendocino County.
The operation will commence on May 25.
To assist the CHP in this traffic safety effort, the Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, has awarded a grant titled “Get Educated and Ride Safe.”
With the grant funding, the Ukiah Area CHP will continue to deploy additional enforcement efforts through Sept. 30.
