Which strategy is NOT used by CHP to combat street racing?

The strategy of reducing speed limits is not typically utilized by the California Highway Patrol (CHP) as a means to combat street racing. Instead, increased patrols, community awareness initiatives, and targeted enforcement operations are employed to address the issue directly associated with illegal street racing.

Increased patrols allow officers to monitor areas known for street racing more effectively, while targeted enforcement operations can focus on specific times and locations where racing commonly occurs, enabling law enforcement to catch offenders in the act. Community awareness campaigns are designed to inform the public about the dangers of street racing and encourage safe driving behaviors.

Reducing speed limits, while a method to improve overall roadway safety, does not directly address the illegal and reckless nature of street racing, as those who choose to engage in such activities are unlikely to comply with speed regulations.
