Today is the last day of the first week of school. We were able to be present on several bus routes and at several school zones throughout the week, issuing multiple citations for various school safety and other vehicle code violations. Although the school week is coming to an end, your safe driving habits shouldn't stop. We will continue to show our presence on bus routes and school zones throughout the year. Please continue to drive with caution.

Today our officers focused on school zone speed limits. The posted school zone speed limit is 25 miles per hour. It is imperative that drivers follow the speed limit as it will allow their vehicles to come to a complete stop in a shorter amount of time if a hazard presents itself. With the first week of school coming to an end, we want to urge all drivers to continue to abide by the speed limit throughout the entire school year as we will continue to focus on these violations.

Today, many students in Tuolumne County began their school year. To ensure the students safety, we deployed several CHP units on certain bus routes and issued citations for failing to stop for school bus flashing red lights. This enforcement will continue all week long and will include speed enforcement in a school zone. The CHP would like to remind all motorists to take extra precautions when traveling around school buses and through school zones.

08/17/2026

Several schools in Tuolumne County will begin classes this week. As students head back to class, remember to slow down and stay alert around school buses and school zones. When a school bus stops with its lights flashing red, STOP and WAIT until the lights stop flashing and it's safe to proceed. The CHP will deploy additional officers out this week specifically looking for violators who choose to put students and bus drivers in danger by not stopping for the flashing red lights on the school bus. We will also be enforcing the 25 mile per hour school zone speed limit.

Sonora Area CHP has another resource that can assist Tuolumne County when needed. Our Chevrolet Silverado has the capabilities to go on remote roadways and will respond to incidents during inclement weather with ease. We are excited to have this patrol vehicle in our fleet.

Today is our annual Stuff the Bus event hosted by the Jamestown Family Resource Center along with other local agencies. They are also providing information for services offered in the area. We are in the Sonora Walmart Shopping Center and are collecting school supplies that will be handed out to families in Tuolumne County to help get our students started on their school year. We are here until noon and look forward to seeing everyone! If you can’t make it out today, the Jamestown Family Resource Center is located in Jamestown and will gladly take your donations there.

Off-highway vehicles are designed for off-road use, not for public streets or highways. They lack the safety equipment required for street use and can put you, your passengers and other motorists at risk. If you choose to drive one on public roadways and are contacted by law enforcement, your vehicle could be impounded.

As we celebrate our nation's birthday, don't let the celebration turn into tragedy. If you choose to celebrate with a drink, do it responsibly and designate a sober driver.

07/01/2026

The CHP will conduct a Holiday Enforcement Period (HEP) from July 2 at 6 p.m. to July 5 at 11:59 p.m., with an emphasis on combating speeding. Although speeding is our emphasis, we will continue to look for those who choose to drive impaired. If you are celebrating our nation's 250th birthday, remember to designate a sober driver.
