Expect increased police presence and traffic enforcement. Follow posted speed limits. Drivers may be required to provide a roadside breath sample during traffic or check stops. Refusal can result in a criminal charge or driving sanctions. Alcohol and cannabis must be stored out of the driver’s reach. If you plan to consume alcohol or cannabis, arrange a safe ride. Check the weather forecast before you go.
