METRO DETROIT, MI — Michigan State Police are cracking down on speeders and aggressive driving behaviors on a couple local highways driven often by Metro Detroit commuters.

Troopers are resuming a traffic enforcement crackdown on the Lodge Freeway in Detroit this week, along a portion of I-96. Last week, MSP issued more than 200 tickets and 100 verbal warnings on M-10. The majority of tickets were written for speeding, police explained. One driver was ticketed for traveling 97 mph.

"Today we continue with Operation Freeway of Love," MSP said on Twitter on Monday. "This is expanding to include the entire Lodge from downtown to Eight Mile Road. We will be looking at excessive speed, seatbelts, following too closely and other aggressive driving behaviors."
