CHP Unveils Traffic-Safety Program Targeting Illegal Street Racing
Authorities Thursday unveiled a traffic-safety program for the Santa Monica Mountains designed to target the problems of illegal street racing and other unsafe driving practices in the area near Malibu.

Dubbed "Operation Safe Canyons," the enforcement effort will be conducted by teams of California Highway Patrol officers and Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies, said CHP Officer Leland Tang.

"On weekends, there is an increase of recreational vehicles, motorcycles, high-performance vehicles and bicyclists using these roadways," Tang said. "This increase in vehicular traffic creates a higher than normal demand for service calls and enforcement."

Tang said that the area's mountainous canyon roads "provide an environment for some motorists to engage in high-speed racing and other unsafe driving practices."

He said an increasing problem has been the organization of illegal events by use of the Internet.

Among the problems in the area:

Motorcycles and other vehicles being driven recklessly on Mulholland Highway, past the residential community west of Decker Canyon.

Motorcycles and other vehicles racing on Stunt Road.

High-performance vehicles racing into the early hours of the mornings on Stunt Road and neighboring canyon roads.

Motorcycles and other vehicles traveling in the wrong direction on Tuna Canyon Road while driving in a reckless manner.

And various instances of motorists driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

"Our goal is to create and maintain an environment that promotes a safe and enjoyable use of the Santa Monica Mountains region for all," Tang said.

Also involved in the program will be Assembly Member Fran Pavley's office, Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky's office, the Los Angeles County Fire Department and the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office.
