Beginning July 9, 2025, the Susanville, Alturas, and Quincy Areas will be committed to an enforcement campaign on US-395 from the Oregon border to the Nevada border.
The focus of this enforcement campaign is to reduce the number of injury and fatal collisions that occur on US-395. Our enforcement efforts will focus on the primary collision factors, such as speeding, unsafe passing, driving under the influence, and commercial vehicle violations.
In addition to enforcement, we will try to educate the motoring public with traffic safety messaging, utilizing social media, in-person contacts, and traditional media methods.
Over the past 10 years, 29 fatal collisions have occurred on the US-395 corridor between Oregon and Nevada.
The CHP reminds you of the following practices to help everyone arrive at their
destination safely:
Leave early so you are not in a rush.
Be patient for the next safe passing area.
Do not drive distracted – that message can wait.
Always wear your seatbelt and ensure children are properly restrained.
Do not drive intoxicated – designate a sober driver.
Reduce your speed and increase your following distance from other vehicles.
Report reckless and suspected DUI drivers. Call 9-1-1 for CHP Dispatch 24/7.
