California Highway Patrol Maximum Enforcement Thanksgiving Weekend Friday November 28 2025.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) Thanksgiving Weekend Maximum Enforcement Period (MEP) is Wednesday November 26 2025 at 6:01pm thru Sunday November 30 2025 at 11:59pm.
Throughout the enforcement period, CHP officers will be on patrol to help ensure everyone obeys traffic laws, wears a seat belt and drives safely.
“Thanksgiving is a time to be with family and friends, not to mourn a preventable tragedy,” said CHP Commissioner Sean Duryee. “Seat belts remain one of the most effective tools for saving lives on our roadways. Taking just two seconds to buckle up could be the decision that saves your life or the life of someone you love.”
Whether you’re driving across town or across the state, the CHP urges all motorists and passengers to buckle up, drive sober and obey the speed limit.
The holidays are meant for celebration and connection — not loss.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by making seat belt use a non-negotiable part of every trip.
The mission of the CHP is to provide the highest level of Safety, Service, and Security
