According to Trooper First Class Ethan Brownback of Troop L, the initiative is part of a statewide push to promote highway safety during one of the busiest travel holidays of the year. The enforcement campaign will specifically target drivers under the influence of alcohol or drugs, aggressive driving, speeding, tailgating, and seatbelt violations.
Authorities are reminding motorists that Labor Day weekend often sees a sharp increase in traffic volume, making safe and responsible driving even more critical.
Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, designate a sober driver if consuming alcohol, and exercise patience while traveling over the long weekend.
