Illinois police will ramp up patrols during the Thanksgiving holiday season. The increased traffic enforcement is made possible through federal funds administered by Illinois Department of Transportation and supported by Illinois State Police and local law enforcement.
The article from Yahoo News discusses Illinois' initiative to enhance road safety during the Thanksgiving holiday period. The Illinois State Police (ISP) and the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) are increasing traffic patrols from November 22 through November 26, 2023, to enforce stricter compliance with traffic laws, particularly focusing on preventing drunk driving, speeding, and ensuring seat belt usage. This enforcement surge is part of a broader effort to reduce the number of traffic fatalities, which have been on the rise. The campaign includes sobriety checkpoints, increased patrols, and public awareness campaigns to remind drivers to plan ahead for safe transportation if they plan to consume alcohol. The initiative also aims to curb the common holiday behaviors that contribute to accidents, such as distracted driving and not wearing seat belts.
