Additional Checkpoint Information
The Huntington Beach Police Department (HBPD) has announced plans for a CDL/DUI checkpoint on Friday, November 13, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. at an undisclosed location within city limits. The department states that checkpoint locations are selected based on historical DUI crash and arrest data, with the goal of promoting road safety and discouraging impaired driving. During the operation, officers will look for signs of impairment caused by alcohol or drugs. The department also reminds motorists that certain prescription and over-the-counter medications can affect driving ability, and that driving under the influence of marijuana remains illegal, even where its use is permitted. Drivers are encouraged to arrange alternative transportation or stay home if alcohol or medication could impair their ability to drive safely. The checkpoint program is funded through a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
