California Highway Patrol-Monterey to Conduct Sobriety/Driver License Checkpoint on August 29 in unincorporated area of Monterey County

 

MONTEREY COUNTY, Calif. – On Friday night, August 29, 2025, the California Highway Patrol (CHP), Monterey Area will conduct a sobriety/driver license checkpoint somewhere within the unincorporated area of Monterey County.


 


In 2024, the CHP Monterey Area investigated 38 fatal traffic crashes which resulted in the loss of 39 lives.  Of these crashes, 14 were caused by someone driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.


 


All too often members of our community are senselessly injured or killed on local roadways by intoxicated drivers.  The goal of the CHP is to ensure the safe passage of every motorist by targeting roads where there is a high frequency of intoxicated drivers.


 


The sobriety/driver license checkpoint will begin at 6:00 p.m. and conclude at 2:00 a.m.  We will indicate the exact location on Friday, August 29 at 4:00 p.m.


 


Funding for this checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
