The Los Angeles Department of Transportation and Watch the Road, a traffic education and safety awareness program, are pleased to announce our campaign promoting public awareness of California's new cell phone driving laws.

Two new laws limiting cell phone use while driving will change Californians' behavior when they take effect July 1. The first law will place restrictions on drivers age 18 and older; these drivers must replace hand-held cell phones with hands-free cell phones. The second law will curb the use of electronic devices by drivers younger than 18 entirely. Law enforcement will begin enforcing these laws July 1.
