Labor Day traffic enforcement is underway in Illinois.
Illinois Department of Transportation spokesperson Paul Wappel says state and local police are boosting patrols in hopes of keeping the roads safe this weekend.
“A lot of people are going to be on the road. I want to remind motorists if you don’t drive sober you are going to be pulled over. There is a special Labor Day campaign going on. Police will also be looking for people who aren’t buckled up.”
Wapple says if you’re planning to drink this weekend, you should figure out ahead of time how you are going to get home safely.
He says if you see what looks to be a drunk driver, you can call 911 and report the vehicle to the police.
