Ohio joined several states to combat three specific traffic violations on along I-75 this past weekend.
The six-state trooper project included the Ohio State Highway Patrol and the state police of Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia. The goal of the weekend enforcement is to add extra patrol to highways to focus on speed, safety belts, and OVI enforcement along Interstate 75. The Ohio State Highway Patrol says the project was aimed at providing combined and coordinated law enforcement and security services in the areas of highway safety, criminal patrol, and intelligence sharing.
Those involved in the initiative say these types of events go a long way in showing the public that the police are out there and will be on the look out for all types of violations. Lieutenant Brown says projects like this one will continue to be carried out down the road to help keep the interstates safe and get motorists home unharmed.
