SANTA CLARA, Calif.—Now that car traffic in California has lightened as people shelter in place and work from home, some people are driving faster, causing an increase in the number of speeding tickets.

Many people aren’t working due to the shelter in place order, but California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers are still out there.
