The enforcement effort began about 7:20 a.m. near the Highland Avenue off-ramp near the southbound Hollywood (101) Freeway, significantly backing up traffic during the morning commute.
California Highway Patrol Officer Francisco Villalobos said the effort is expected to last well into Wednesday afternoon.
