Weather Advisory!

Rain is moving in. Flooded roads are extremely dangerous—just a few inches of moving water can sweep a vehicle away.

Key reminders:
• Slow down and increase following distance
• Turn headlights on when wipers are in use
• Turn Around, Don’t Drown — never drive through flooded roadways

Stay off the roads if you can. If you must travel, use caution and check Caltrans Quickmap for road closures. As always, drive safe Kern County.

🚶‍♀️🚸 OCTOBER IS PEDESTRIAN SAFETY MONTH! 🚸🚶‍♂️

💙❤️ The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reminds everyone in Bakersfield that pedestrian safety is a shared responsibility!

Whether you’re walking to school, crossing the street downtown, enjoying your neighborhood, or walking along a rural roadway, a few simple safety habits can help prevent crashes and save lives.

🚶 PEDESTRIANS:
✅ Use marked crosswalks and intersections whenever possible.
✅ Look left, right, and left again before crossing.
✅ Make eye contact with drivers before stepping into the roadway.
✅ Put your phone away and stay alert.
✅ Wear bright or reflective clothing when walking in low-light conditions.

🚗 DRIVERS:
✅ Slow down near schools, parks, neighborhoods, and crosswalks.
✅ Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and follow traffic signals.
✅ Always check for pedestrians before turning.
✅ Never drive distracted or impaired.

❤️ One moment of awareness can make all the difference. Let’s work together to keep our families, neighbors, students, and visitors safe on the roads throughout our communities!

🚔 Your local CHP officers encourage everyone to LOOK OUT FOR ONE ANOTHER. EVERY STEP. EVERY STREET. EVERY DAY.

🚗 The weekend is here ‼️

As you head out to enjoy your weekend remember to slow down, obey posted speed limits, and always designate a sober driver. Leave plenty of space between vehicles, stay focused on the road, and put the cellphones down.

Your choice behind the wheel matter. Also, remember we share the road with motorcycles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. 🚲🏍️

Arrive alive and make it home safely!

🚗 Driving through the Kern Canyon? Slow down, stay in your lane, and expect the unexpected ‼️

The winding roadway, limited sight distance and narrow lanes leave little room for error. Never cross the double yellow lines or attempt an unsafe pass. Give yourself plenty of following distance, watch for oncoming traffic, and remember getting there is more important than getting there quickly.

It is with profound sadness that the California Highway Patrol announces the line-of-duty death of Officer Brian Liles of the Visalia Area.

On September 28, 2026, at approximately 5:11 p.m., CHP Motorcycle Officer Liles was involved in an on-duty traffic crash on State Route 99, just north of State Route 190 in Tipton. He sustained critical injuries and, despite lifesaving efforts, succumbed to his injuries at the scene.

Officer Liles, 44, served the people of California for more than 16 years. After graduating from the CHP Academy in 2010, he was assigned to the San Jose Area and later served in the Hayward and Fresno Areas before transferring to the Visalia Area in 2019.

Officer Liles is survived by his wife, two children, his parents, and two sisters.

The CHP extends its deepest condolences to Officer Liles’ family, friends, loved ones, and all who served alongside him. His dedication to public service and commitment to protecting the people of California will not be forgotten.

Child Passenger Safety Week ‼️

The CHP is dedicated to promoting child passenger safety and ensuring every child is correctly secured during every trip. National Child Passenger Safety Week focuses on educating parents and caregivers about the importance of proper car seats and providing the right fit for a child’s age, weight, and height.

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for children in the U.S., but proper use of child safety seats significantly reduces the risk of injury and fatality. The CHP offers free car seat inspections and hands-on training year-round, with trained experts available to assist.

California Law:

✅Under 2 years: Must ride in a rear-
facing car seat unless they weigh 40
pounds or are 40+ inches tall.

✅ Under 8 years old: Must ride in a car
seat or booster seat in the back seat.

✅8 years or older, or 4’9” or taller: If a
child meets all the requirements of the
5-Step test then they may ride in a seat
belt without a booster seat.

✅ Drivers can be fined over $500 and get
a point on their driving record for each
unbuckled child under 16.
