As millions of motorists get ready to hit the road, the California Highway Patrol is activating its annual Thanksgiving Maximum Enforcement Period (MEP), which resulted in more than 1,000 arrests last year.

California Highway Patrol officers will conduct their annual Thanksgiving Maximum Enforcement Period beginning Wednesday evening in the Southland and around the state to promote traffic safety during the holiday weekend.
