For those coming to the Monterey area this weekend just a couple of quick notes:
Local Law Enforcement
Just a warning to be especially careful about your speed and rolling stops in downtown Carmel, Pacific Grove and to a lesser extent Monterey. We don’t get much major crime yet do seem to have an abundant supply of law enforcement officers with revenue targets. They should have plenty of more tempting targets than the M5 but I would still be careful.
