The intent of this enforcement effort is to remind motorists to always use good highway safety sense, especially during this highly traveled holiday season.

During this safe driving campaign, motorists are also reminded that State and local police will also be enforcing speed, cell phone, distracted driving, and DUI laws during the entire holiday driving season.
