Troopers step up patrols for bad drivers, trucking violations, illegal drugs

By Billie Owens

Today New York State Police launched the phase 2 of its summer traffic enforcement initiative. Law enforcement agencies are conducting intense patrols along interstates 90 and 86. Be advised:

  • Aggressive driving, impaired driving and speeding are some of the violations targeted.
  • They also are focusing on commercial vehicles with their Motor Carrier Enforcement officers and weight teams.
  • Aerial speed enforcement along with Drug Recognition Experts and K9 officers are being employed.

As the summer travel season continues, the goal is to educate and encourage motorists to make good decisions about their driving behaviors and adjust them accordingly.
